I'm sure this'll cause a long debate, however... What I'd like is some option to make the boot quieter - a way of hiding the informational kernel messages that (once the system has been built) serve little purpose. I'm specifically referring to the identification of devices, loading of kernel modules, config of the loopback interface (or any other statically configured interfaces), messages about clean disk partitions etc. The advantage (from my perspective) is that the remaining messages should be error messages and messages confirming service startup. That way spotting problems should be easier. Is this possible already? If not would it be useful? -- Rob | What part of "no" was it you didn't understand? _________________________________________________________________ It's fast, it's easy and it's free.
