I can appreciate the slimness of them. However, personally I actually find the detail useful (at least sometimes). Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be a knob I can flip to actually get all the messages back as /etc/rc unconditionally uses 'quietstart' rather than 'start'. Am I the only one who finds it useful to know which daemon is making my startup hang for an extra second? -- John Baldwin
