Re: best way to change speakup defaults in debian automatically when the system boots into console mode



I put that in the crontab file to load on bootup.
I suspect it is better practice to put it in init.d but I'm unsure on how to 
properly do that.

I use speakupconf from the speakup-tools package.

Admittedly, I've not automated the loading of settings, but it's no big
deal for me to type

speakupconf load

when I boot the system.

I'm sure there's an easy enough way to automate this, I've just not
bothered to look into it.
