What I see in my computer, are many messages during GRUB loading, and few messages during boot. Things have changed now, Linux loads fast. You can also see the boot messages at /var/log/boot.log. I am not sure, if there is some configuration somewhere, to see more detailed messages during boot, or not. -- Ioannis Vranos http://cppsoftware.binhoster.com -- Lubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
