jgutty Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 I am running 9.2, and I want to see the verbose boot information as a default. I would prefer just a basic screen, the way it was way back whenever. When you have youngsters in the house who may not always be inclined to shut the system down properly, it is a good idea to pay attention the info floating by on startup. In particular, recognize that few seconds available to start a disk system verification. I have edited the global.config file in /etc/bootsplash/themes/Mandrake/config to show no logo, no change, Also, init file in /etc/sysconfig to show BOOTUP=verbose......no change, I also tried bootsplash file in etc/sysconfig to say no bootsplash. Still not what I want. The only difference I see is that I now ONLY have a bootsplash screen, no moving status bar or note to hit etc for verbose. I must be missing something. Any ideas? Thanks.

jgutty Posted August 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 Thanks! I looked at the lilo config file, but I did not see that append info out there. That did it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
