yup - and you did the integration work. AWESOME! it means generally speaking
exquisite has a very SMALL userbase - it's people like you doing a distribution
and the integration. regular users don't do this (normally) - it's not like e,
or terminology etc.

well i do know it has no feature to get user input at all (keyboard OR mouse).
it was designed as a totally "output to user only" thing. yup. it can be added.
for the case of encrypted partitions etc. it makes sense to add such features -
indeed. in fact it MAY make sense to add some minimal interaction ability -
like buttons for power-off/suspend etc. so if you are stuck in the boot... you
can at least try and cleanly power back down etc.
