Re: Crypted LVM and beep tones

[Nick Gawronski <nick@nickgawronski.com>]

Hi, If speech is enabled and as I set the initial ramdisk to generic to 
include all drivers why not include the espeakup and sound packages so 
you could have speech during this process?  I myself also use this 
encryption feature and as you could always create a key file and add it 
to another luks slot I would not rather have to do this as I am not sure 
if there is a timeout when that prompt appears after booting.  It would 
be nice to have speech during that process or if a Braille display was 
connected Braille support or better yet both.  Nick Gawronski
