Yeah, at least in Fedora I can also start speakup from the initrd image and this also works very well. However, remember that I am talking about software speech... how can I have speech-dispatcher running before the rc.d levels? I mean, is there a way to run commands before rc.d. E.G. before the partition check starts...
