Only thing is I like the boot script full width of the screen and that gui squashes it up
too much for my taste.Is that what lba32 does to it , as in,


boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
vga=791
default=91-2.4.21.0
keytable=/boot/uk.klt
lba32
prompt
nowarn
timeout=200
message=/boot/message
menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw
ignore-table




I get the full width, plain bootup. Here is my lilo. I think it is the vga line, but not sure.

boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
vga=normal
default="linux"
keytable=/boot/us.klt
prompt
nowarn
timeout=100
message=/boot/message
menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw

I don't think so , the vga= line is to set you normal graphics level during bootup, that is why in failsafe I set it to vga=ask then I get to choose what graphics level to boot in, if graphics level be an issue to get to login.

No I think something else controls the gui bootscript screen, I prefer the full screenwidth boot scripts , so that you get more time and better visual appreciation of the script, I don't mind eye candy as such , I am not anti-gui , but the authors do so schrink the viewing area so much that it defeats the purpose. I find vga=791 gives you smal enough script that I can still read and yet means the script is before your eyes long enough to have a chance to appreciate what it is saying.
