On an older machine, a blank screen is difficult to deal with. When there is nothing there, for 5-?? seconds, how does anyone know if the system is stalled or working? Many of us use old hardware. That hardware is not really going to reach the 10 second boot anyway. It would be nice to have a way of knowing without waiting 5 minutes to find out the boot stalled. -- Charlie Kravetz Linux Registered User Number 425914 [http://counter.li.org/] Never let anyone steal your DREAM.
