That sounds like the best solution.. Not compiling any console drivers in would work as well - up to the point init starts with no open file descriptors, that is (so symlink /dev/console -> /dev/null). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

Removing boot text
We are using Linux as a bootable CD for system configuration. We would like to keep all the information displayed at bootup hidden. The main reason for this is because our users see words such as "error" and "failed" and it bothers them (though there is nothing wrong). Anyone know how other than changing the kernel code?
