[Thomas Hood] > Would it make sense to use INIT_VERBOSE to control this?
It sound like a good idea, at least. That way the INIT_VERBOSE=no flag would affect both the boot scripts and init itself. Patch welcome. :) On the other hand the 'splash' kernel option is used to activate the splash screens, while the 'quiet' kernel option is used to quiet down the boot. Perhaps it make more sense to use 'quiet' instead of INIT_VERBOSE all over, and expect those with splash screens to use 'splash quiet' as kernel arguments if they want few messages during boot as well as the splash screen activated? The alternative would be 'splash quiet INIT_VERBOSE=no', as one need to tell the kernel to shut up anyway. I believe adding support for 'quiet' as well as INIT_VERBOSE (and perhaps dropping INIT_VERBOSE support some time in the future), and adding support for the 'quiet' flag in init make most sense. Any objections? If not, I will go ahead with that plan. Friendly, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
