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. --=20 Guido Falsi <mad@madpilot.net> --X1bOJ3K7DJ5YkBrT Content-Type: application/x-pkcs7-signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="smime.p7s" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 MIIIpQYJKoZIhvcNAQcCoIIIljCCCJICAQExCzAJBgUrDgMCGgUAMAsGCSqGSIb3DQEHAaCC BikwggLiMIICS6ADAgECAgMOV4MwDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEEBQAwYjELMAkGA1UEBhMCWkExJTAj BgNVBAoTHFRoYXd0ZSBDb25zdWx0aW5nIChQdHkpIEx0ZC4xLDAqBgNVBAMTI1RoYXd0ZSBQ ZXJzb25hbCBGcmVlbWFpbCBJc3N1aW5nIENBMB4XDTA1MDMyNDE5MDIzNVoXDTA2MDMyNDE5 MDIzNVowVzEOMAwGA1UEBBMFRmFsc2kxDjAMBgNVBCoTBUd1aWRvMRQwEgYDVQQDEwtHdWlk byBGYWxzaTEfMB0GCSqGSIb3DQEJARYQbWFkQG1hZHBpbG90Lm5ldDCCASIwDQYJKoZIhvcN AQEBBQADggEPADCCAQoCggEBALZgXEBokuuMpCmSoKs60tUtpuI6I84Wlm2jxR2/P5Yny+uh pYCzR3aNtFo+6lhQKlCM/IqbA+Ok2xKkFfAyVWRXdhn4IIeKikOSfyEbG98Q7uVAFamecdrO 9BdHIWOKgKib1a1MUIDKL9zVPb+b45PriUV9mq5cciUud5KlgGtbb3jNxrLQvAk0Y1/qB0MT +fNbCxPQ3qucSLgAp1gCp3iLRwvnjIim7K9DJPWW4D0LrO/5oRP1beJED7J0C0nABT8utKjt TFfAbQ2BMbC4tRNgEK4V6mom6mS9Wft1ZhKGGgzFCBDu059edMeyAtxoF/Zwobjk/b4gzktK Z/YbsO8CAwEAAaMtMCswGwYDVR0RBBQwEoEQbWFkQG1hZHBpbG90Lm5ldDAMBgNVHRMBAf8E AjAAMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBBAUAA4GBABbm3GWyPMehQ9HJJF7DzxYIlGjRHQEKPOVu7oPaZiLz 1CrKd7mPy5xyATkunj7lMfgF2jeZB9O33nS+vr440jh9cWwBnHp0p6PK5DlGUGn2ndXBhvA4 FFZPV4CVed8mw6B2NRS1Ul/7ailHpbeEP3pxTqx23Fth2hE0QZXtNaQMMIIDPzCCAqigAwIB AgIBDTANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADCB0TELMAkGA1UEBhMCWkExFTATBgNVBAgTDFdlc3Rlcm4g Q2FwZTESMBAGA1UEBxMJQ2FwZSBUb3duMRowGAYDVQQKExFUaGF3dGUgQ29uc3VsdGluZzEo MCYGA1UECxMfQ2VydGlmaWNhdGlvbiBTZXJ2aWNlcyBEaXZpc2lvbjEkMCIGA1UEAxMbVGhh d3RlIFBlcnNvbmFsIEZyZWVtYWlsIENBMSswKQYJKoZIhvcNAQkBFhxwZXJzb25hbC1mcmVl bWFpbEB0aGF3dGUuY29tMB4XDTAzMDcxNzAwMDAwMFoXDTEzMDcxNjIzNTk1OVowYjELMAkG A1UEBhMCWkExJTAjBgNVBAoTHFRoYXd0ZSBDb25zdWx0aW5nIChQdHkpIEx0ZC4xLDAqBgNV BAMTI1RoYXd0ZSBQZXJzb25hbCBGcmVlbWFpbCBJc3N1aW5nIENBMIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEB AQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQDEpjxVc1X7TrnKmVoeaMB1BHCd3+n/ox7svc31W/Iadr1/DDph8r9R zgHU5VAKMNcCY1osiRVwjt3J8CuFWqo/cVbLrzwLB+fxH5E2JCoTzyvV84J3PQO+K/67GD4H v0CAAmTXp6a7n2XRxSpUhQ9IBH+nttE8YQRAHmQZcmC3+wIDAQABo4GUMIGRMBIGA1UdEwEB /wQIMAYBAf8CAQAwQwYDVR0fBDwwOjA4oDagNIYyaHR0cDovL2NybC50aGF3dGUuY29tL1Ro YXd0ZVBlcnNvbmFsRnJlZW1haWxDQS5jcmwwCwYDVR0PBAQDAgEGMCkGA1UdEQQiMCCkHjAc MRowGAYDVQQDExFQcml2YXRlTGFiZWwyLTEzODANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFAAOBgQBIjNFQg+oL LswNo2asZw9/r6y+whehQ5aUnX9MIbj4Nh+qLZ82L8D0HFAgk3A8/a3hYWLD2ToZfoSxmRsA xRoLgnSeJVCUYsfbJ3FXJY3dqZw5jowgT2Vfldr394fWxghOrvbqNOUQGls1TXfjViF4gtwh GTXeJLHTHUb/XV9lTzGCAkQwggJAAgEBMGkwYjELMAkGA1UEBhMCWkExJTAjBgNVBAoTHFRo YXd0ZSBDb25zdWx0aW5nIChQdHkpIEx0ZC4xLDAqBgNVBAMTI1RoYXd0ZSBQZXJzb25hbCBG cmVlbWFpbCBJc3N1aW5nIENBAgMOV4MwCQYFKw4DAhoFAKCBsTAYBgkqhkiG9w0BCQMxCwYJ KoZIhvcNAQcBMBwGCSqGSIb3DQEJBTEPFw0wNTA0MjkxMDU0MTZaMCMGCSqGSIb3DQEJBDEW BBRqCvJEPb69bMORAuSeJg9Psm3I9DBSBgkqhkiG9w0BCQ8xRTBDMAoGCCqGSIb3DQMHMA4G CCqGSIb3DQMCAgIAgDANBggqhkiG9w0DAgIBQDAHBgUrDgMCBzANBggqhkiG9w0DAgIBKDAN BgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAASCAQARcDsyd3n98Qzx/CqBvf0hKuE68JHVIC1X7TsvTshHPo7fwYbg 8kPBdtXTOMyX3qwJ3BkbPTo4TfX0sIXgHGFEuNMIspygYZKnOUXKzb1/TTo5AsQ+mdF60jyX BP60jeTDPFLNuhjCiPr3IGpGGMRPE0+Zb3LnThqtHUEcPXCM/c3M1NZgYtQyVbUfMoT7qLtF GzHAAFoI/5+KN5jmzTSrfyHvJhYMmEeUscTVCD+Z1yJHtMbpgIq5aJDQTt/aJNaiHnArJm6q +paqbTj8GBZ7a7opnqWd/UGIrDM0VBZ9u6Wd9FaOJymuVzP7osqWneJWTTr53SeYPirckT3o gyZl --X1bOJ3K7DJ5YkBrT--
