On this proposal, I think that some graphic banner while booting could be beautiful to the eye, but quite void in usefullness. I'm not against it, but can't see any real advantage. Anyway if someone feels like spending some time on this feature and the results does not bring any regression to the system I don't see why it should not be offered as an option. On the other hand I think some tidying up in the rc sctripts boot messages would really REALLY be a good idea. I don't mean anything drastic, just that in 5.x(as was altready pointed out) the output is a bit messy, and even if I can sort it out uite clearly out of habit, it would be better if it was a bit more structured and ordered. My 2 cents...nothing more, nothing less. -- Guido Falsi <mad@madpilot.net> [-- Attachment #2 --] 0 *H 01 0 + 0 *H )00KW0 *H 0b1 0 UZA1%0#U Thawte Consulting (Pty) Ltd.1,0*U#Thawte Personal Freemail Issuing CA0 050324190235Z 060324190235Z0W10 UFalsi10 U*Guido10U Guido Falsi1 0 *H mad@madpilot.net0"0 *H 0 `\@h댤):-:#m ?'롥GvZ>XP*P2UdWv C!@qG!cխLP/=E}\r%.wk[oxƲм 4c_C[ ޫH XxG 猈C$= mDt I?.LWm 1`j&dYuf ӟ^tDzhp KJg -0+0U 0mad@madpilot.net0 U 0 0 *H e<ǡC$^h <nf"*w˜r9.>17ӷt88}qlzt9FPi8VOWy&àv5R_j)G?zqNv[a4A5 0?0 0 *H 01 0 UZA10U Western Cape10U Cape Town10U Thawte Consulting1(0&U Certification Services Division1$0"UThawte Personal Freemail CA1+0) *H personal-freemail@thawte.com0 030717000000Z 130716235959Z0b1 0 UZA1%0#U Thawte Consulting (Pty) Ltd.1,0*U#Thawte Personal Freemail Issuing CA00 *H 0 Ħ<UsUNʙZ hup [v :aQP 0cZ,p+Z?qV˯< 6$*+w=+>@dקe*TH<a@ dr` 00U 0 0CU <0:08642http://crl.thawte.com/ThawtePersonalFreemailCA.crl0 U 0)U "0 0 10UPrivateLabel2-1380 *H HP . fgCL!6 -6/ P p<ab:~ t%Pb'qW%ݩ9 Oe_N4[5MwV!x!5$ F]_eO1D0@0i0b1 0 UZA1%0#U Thawte Consulting (Pty) Ltd.1,0*U#Thawte Personal Freemail Issuing CAW0 + 0 *H 1 *H 0 *H 1 050429105416Z0# *H 1j D=lÑ&Om0R *H 1E0C0 *H 0*H 0 *H @0+0 *H (0 *H p;2wy *!*: -W;/NG>Cv8̗ެ =:8M aDa9EͽM:9>z<<Rͺ jFOOorN A =p`b2U 2E1 Z74!& G?"G逊hN$֢ p+&nm8{k)A34T}V')W3ʖVM:'>*ܑ=&e
