In hardy alpha 5, the "quiet" seems to be somehow implicit - at any rate, there is no way to remove it from the command-line as one could previously. It seems that quiet, splash=silent have been forcibly hardcoded in, and the result is that there is no way to get the status messages, no matter what boot parameter I try! So this doesn't only apply to the alternative install disc.
(Also, most distros let you press Esc (when bootsplash is being shown) to see the full boot messages; Ubuntu doesn't.) -- alternate install CD should probably not be "quiet" by default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/129010 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
