To turn Plymouth off?

[don fisher]

Thanks. When I read the pointer from the release notes:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/BetterStartup

it said that "we are getting rid of RHGB". Thus I had assumed that 
removing the rhgb option from grub.conf would not be permanent. I will 
do it as you suggested.
