Speakup Kernel and Orca Getting Colder.

[Mike Ray]

Kyle,

There is a line in the espeakup start script which reads:

#STARTTIME=2 # Time to wait for the server to start, in seconds

If you uncomment that line you won't get the false 'failed' notice in 
the kernel boot messages.

You might have to bump it up to three but two works for me.

Mike
