There is need for something more graphical and/or interactive than classical boot messages stream. Maybe an ncurses interface allowing the admin to browse the save logs from various daemon and showing which are already up, which failed and what is currently running. This architecture will allow also fancy graphical bootup trees showing the startup (it will rock even more than Windows blue floating bar at the bottom of the screen ;) and whats more important (but contains less hype) would allow easy browsing of these logs with a GUI or web interface (including checking what is running and what can but turned on/off) -- Regards, Jakub Piotr Cłapa _______________________________________________ pld-devel-en mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en
