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?
