RE: Disabling Graphic Bootup
For some reason, Aurora enables itself on some x86 comps, but not others. I don't know why. I don't think aurora slows things down, in mdk7, it didn't. (Aurora on mdk8 doesn't start on my x86, no clue why.). Perhaps you should try Old-Style monitors. They show everything that the text-mode does, except it look nicer. How to change, I have no idea. --Jonathan Sailor P.S.

Re: Disabling Graphic Bootup
Hehe, I trust the MCC about as much as I trust the Extensions Manager in Mac OS... and that's not very much. ;-) My experience so far is that things tend to work better if you deal with them using your own hands... then again, maybe that's just me. ;-) At any rate, I'm just glad to finally be rid of that thing... my boot sessions are a lot faster now.

I guess my opinion is that if you don't want it you really don't want it. Not only that but the micro FAQ for i doesn't even mention your method. *shrug* It can also be turned off at boot time by appending textboot to your boot param ala: linux textboot That only works for that boot. -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org "Before you set out for revenge dig two graves." - Chinese Saying
Re: Disabling Graphic Bootup
It can also be disabled from the Mandrake Control Center by unchecking the Aurora boot option. dc While emailing instead of doing something productive on 10/10/01 1:22 AM, Ben Reser wrote: > On Wed, Oct 10, 2001 at 02:20:52AM -0500, James Meade wrote: >> How would one go about disabling the graphic boot screen (the ugly >> purple screen with the big star in the center) in Mandrake?
