Phillipp, I kinda like the boot messages, but I think to a new user they might be "scary." Windows has the system, that the logo masks the Autoexec.bat and Config.sys outputs
No, actually, it doesn't. If anything in autoexec.bat or config.sys puts messages on the screen, the logo screen disappears and you see the text.
Not on any of the 95/98 boxes I administer. You have to hit the Esc key to get rid of the boot logo or edit msdos.sys.
At one time I administered about 120 of the things. Now as a developer I routinely run two, and at home I still administer my wife's machine. I can state flat out that if you have anything in autoexec.bat and it does NOT begin with @echo off (or alternatively have every single command begin with @) then the logo DOES disappear for a while so that the text can be displayed, on every machine I have worked with. I'm pretty sure, but less certain, that messages from config.sys did the same. (Loading drivers in config.sys is less common than it used to be.) -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
