Hello from Gregg C Levine normally with Jedi Knight Computers
This fellow is runs Linux (Slackware 7.1 with 2.2.18 kernel). I vote a
"yes" vote for that option. I have framebuffer support installed for
the ATI Rage 128 (with Dell tweaks) compiled into the kernel. I most
certainly would like to see those kernel boot messages, it would tell
me what is going on, and what is right, and wrong for that matter,
especially since I inevitably make a new kernel upon installing the
product.
