This makes my beard itch. I don't know if the community folks have any real say at all in this but I feel like expressing an opinion. That progress bar is really tacky. It instantly undervalues the whole name and feel of what a UNIX system should be. It is similar to a Honda civic with a tin can welded to the exhaust pipe. The first thing I do is modify my menu.lst for grub to something like so : default 0 timeout 15 title snv_135 i386 findroot (rootfs0,0,a) kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -v module$ /platform/i86pc/$ISADIR/boot_archive title snv_135 safe findroot (rootfs0,0,a) kernel$ /boot/platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -sv module$ /boot/$ISADIR/x86.miniroot-safe Very simple. At the very least it is respectable. Dignified. So perhaps solve a few problems with one fell swoop and toss that "progress" thing away. I do not see how it reports anything about "progress" to the sysadmin. There, I am now the "bad guy" for saying it. -- Dennis _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
