Boot Log

[Rob Kettle]

Hi

that's useful info but what I actually mean is the messages that used
to be recorded in /var/log/boot.log. These no longer get written at
FC4.

Regards
Rob

On all my systems I turn off the rhgb (Red Hat Graphical Boot), while
it 
looks good I find it kind of annoying if something takes longer than it

wants to wait.  I also turn off the "quiet" and my boot ups are more 
like they use to be.  I think the proper direction is to have rhgb and

quiet defaulted on boot though.  Most general users don't like or 
appreciate the boot info.  Me on the other hand, need and love the boot

info.
