I like it except when it scrolls too >fast to read or fills up the message buffer. The right way to fix this It obscures important information, and important information scrolls off the screen before it can be seen; relying on the message buffer to contain it all doesn't help if your disk controller isn't attached correctly or the new user doesn't know about 'dmesg'. I'd prefer a much more quiet startup than what we even had previously. -DG
