Can we move this multi-line stuff above the "Doing initial network setup:" echo? It makes the echo -n stuff printed afterwards look dumb -- right now, we see: Doing initial network setup: Generating /etc/host.conf for compatibility hostname domain. The "hostname domain" are somewhat orphaned. Perhaps Doing initial network setup: host.conf hostname domain. is sufficient? If not, let's make it Generating /etc/host.conf for compatibility Doing initial network setup: hostname domain. I'm fine with the host.conf -> nsswitch.conf update being a multi-line message, because it happens once. Since the nsswitch.conf->host.conf happens on every boot, I'd like to see it be more integrated into the boot messages. I've got patches pending to turn this script into an awk (instead of gawk) script too, so if someone wants to commit this change I can send the other changes too, or I can make whatever change we decide is appropriate.
