JR Yes, well I'm stuck with it for the moment.
JR I have seen it before, and delt with it before, but for the life of me I
JR cannot remember what I did to change it back to what I want. It's some
JR text editor job as far can remember, I guess not many of you here on the
JR list have seen it before then ?

Before I added my wife as a user to my personal system, I used to boot up to a login prompt (init 3, right?) with nothing but a black screen with scrolling bootup messages before that. I then started KDE with "startx". She of course, coming from a local community colleges "windows" background preferred some kind of graphical login.
The only thing I can ever remember doing was putting "vga=791" in lilo, as well as "noquiet" and removing the bootsplash RPM.
It seems you've done all this so I dunno.
I have always chosen vga=791 for all my boot-ups except failsafe and nonFB where I have vga=ask. Nothing special there.
Before I knew better and chose gui aurora boot script I could change it back to text boot scrip, but again I cannot remember how.
Anyway,
Charles,
Does, /usr/share/bootsplash/scripts/switch-themes have any bearing on the boot script style do you think ?
