Remember to quote and trim! Yes, we know Red Hat did/do this. It also saves 60seconds off their boot process if you disable it (which is longer than a total Ubuntu boot process)... and the splash wasn't able to start until nearly the end of the boot---see below.
In theory it's a great idea, in practice, it turns out to be mad. There are bigger issues though. 'usplash' starts with in a second or two of boot; there is not even a root filesystem available. IIRC, X also currently needs a writable filesystem to start up. When 'usplash' starts there's not much of the machine actually available be able to cope with a full-system; there were was then you' be able to login anyway. :) -- Usplash artwork should use dark colours to avoid flicker @ 60Hz https://launchpad.net/bugs/58539 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
