Hi ltiu,
As far as I know you have two choices to turn off the graphic boot screens. If you look in /etc/lilo.conf you'll see the second entry label=linux-nonfb . If you boot this kernel which is the same as the default, the graphic boot screen is turned off. Alternatively, you can alter the symlink to lilo in /boot to point to the menu or text dirs. I believe this should also remove the graphic boot up. Hope this helps! Randy On Mon, 22 Oct 2001, ltiu wrote: | |Aurora is a user space application that runs after init.
