You have been warned! > Brian I have bootet some HPux systems here at the Univiersity and I realy liked the way they boot: After the kernel is loaded you get a list of things to be done. All have a [.....] at the end. Now the bootprocedure goes from top to bottom and fills in what its doing into that list. Heres an example made up to explain what I mean: ... Running filesystem check ............. [ ok ] Mounting local filesystems ........... [ ok ] Starting remote services ............. [failed] Synchronysing time ................... [ wait ] Starting xdm [......] ... The status in [...] is colored. OK is green, wait and similar are yellow, failed will be red I think. I would like to implement a similar thing for Linux. My programm would check the last boot sequence for output and create a menu acordingly (this could be done on roots demand or after every boot). Also the boot messages would go to another console (like console 8) and to a logfile. What do you think of this? May the Source be with you. Mrvn PS: We could also show some ansi or gfx penguin in the corner during boot. This wont look as bad as the old one, because the screen wont be scrolling. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
