If there is an echo off command, or a @ in front of the command
and/or ulitmately no output is produced then the boot logo boots
up.

SuSE/Windows Mailing List now!? :)

And to comment on Phillip's comments - yeah, the more output the
better - but its all about choice.  And ultimately, if users/customers 
want it then ... there is a market for it.
>Fromwhat I've read on this list, even knowlegeable(??) users of Linux
sometimes don't want to see those start up messages, whatever their 
reason is for this.  Sometimes no news is certainly good news.
And, now some PC manufacturers/BIOS manufacturers are even masking the 
BIOS messages.

My stand on this?  I turn the logos off - but I still like the choice
of being able to turn it back on.
