Benjamin Vander was correct. It is the graphical booting which is
more likely to cause boot problems, or allow serious problems to go
unnoticed during the boot process. It is a bad design decision
from a technical perspective. However, it is good marketing and
seems more welcoming to newbies. I guess it is all a matter of
priorities. I suppose as long as RH makes reconfiguring it
reasonably easy, then this is not a major problem for anyone.
