I think I'll go for the exact opposite :)


&gt;&gt;<i> As a separate issue, kernel debug output is controlled by the &quot;quiet&quot;
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> keyword. We don't use this (haven't since 2003) but personally I believe
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> it's time to include this. It gives a much smoother and more user
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> friendly boot.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Yeah I was thinking about that one for some time...
</I>
I've also asked Thomas about the frame buffer logo images that get
displayed very early on. Ideally we could kill them too.
