festival screen reader install
I downloaded the voices pack for festival and put it in /usr/share/festival/english/. The english part of that may have needed capitalization I'm not sure. Beyond that, I don't know yet how to select a default voice from those available and configure festival so that a voice comes up talking when I run festival --server. I wouldn't have asked about any of this here if I found this information using google, I tried that first and came up with zip. -- ___ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list

Re: Overwriting old/corrupted files in a backup
I agree. rsync is fast and extremely powerful. If in the future you need something really sophisticated, like large companies use, try storeBackup.

I suppose what I'm looking for is a command line utility or script that executes the following pseudo code: Given directories source and destination: for every file found in both source and destination: if file.source != file.destination prompt user whether to overwrite one version of the file with the other or to add the files to a list for later examination. For every file only in source: search for match in destination. If match found prompt user towhich to rename to match. If not match found, copy to destination. For every file only in destination: search for match in source. If match is found, prompt user to which file should be renamed. If no match is found, prompt user whether to copy of delete. If anyone knows of command line utilities to help with this task, it would be greatly appreciated. ___ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list ___ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
