RH 7.3 speaks during startup messages, but not at prompt or beyond

[Ed Barnes]

Hi there, when you installed rh 7.3 did you cinfigure x at all, if you 
did your machine is defaulting to run level 5 which is x, if your friend 
is using speakup you will want the machine to boot in text mode which is 
run level 3.
You can fix this by editing: /etc/inittab 
Regarding the speech not being able to keep up with the boot messages, 
it's normal in many cases so just do a keypad enter to shut it up unless 
you need to hear them as the box boots, if you don't and you want to 
view them later simply concatinate them. 
Hope this is helpful.
