Fundamentally Gnopernicus will not talk until X is loaded. Having said this, since Mandrake/SuSE/Redhat all have X based installers the installations could be modified to include gnopernicus. From this point, the only thing you couldn't do, either during setup or normal use is read startup messages until you've logged in.
