Hmmm. That sounds odd, but perhaps it's for some good technical
reason.
I don't have FC2 installed yet (waiting for FireWire to be reinstated in
the stock kernel), but in FC1 I get a graphical boot but not a graphical
restart or shutdown. Is that normal?
Yes. I do not believe the shutdown/reboot part
of
rhgb has been implemented yet.
I was reading over the thread on
rhl-beta mentioned earlier in this thread, and one of the reasons for
introducing rhgb is to shield ordinary users from potentially confusing
boot messages. Aren't the shutdown/restart messages equally confusing?
Not
really. At least IMO.
Also, there are still all the messages from the kernel before init
starts which I believe are far more cryptic than the ones from init. Is
there no way to shield the ordinary user from those as well?
You need to add a
'quiet' to the kernel line in your
grub.conf to get rid of those.
