How to change text bootup screens to graphical bootup screens?

Pardon for the deluge of mails from me, but I am only now online on Linux and hence have fully started to live in Linux, so I will get a lot of questions. Thanks for your patience. I would like to see the graphical bootup instead of the text one. Starting from "Starting Desktop System" "Starting KDE" etc I see the green graphical screen with the SuSE logo and everything, but before that, I see the text only. I would like to change this back to graphics ("Starting Services" etc). Please advise how to do this. The relevant /boot/grub/menu.lst entry is this, if it is of any use: title SuSE Linux 9.3 kernel (hd0,7)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda8 selinux=0 resume=/dev/sda12 splash=silent showopts initrd (hd0,7)/boot/initrd Should I change "splash=silent" to something? I fear doing something that may crash my system, since these are kernel parameters if I am not mistaken. Thanks. -- (o- Penguin #395953 lives at http://samvit.org //\ subsisting on ancient Indian wisdom ... V_/_ and modern computing efficiency! :)

Delete 'splash=silent' from /boot/grub/menu.lst.
Thanks. I suspected as much, but was afraid to muck anything up. -- (o- Penguin #395953 lives at http://samvit.org //\ subsisting on ancient Indian wisdom ... V_/_ and modern computing efficiency! :)
