earliest possible software speech at boot?

[David Bruzos]

I did not know that...  However, what about the partition checks and 
anything else that might require action?  Sometimes my system says: " disk 
check returned errors, dropping you to a shell" and I get a bash prompt so I 
can do repare tasks (this is before the rc.d scripts could load 
speech-dispatcher".  Do you think there can be a way to get working software 
speech at this point?
