Other Help Topics :: How to hide or disable kernel boot messages?

Hello,

I would like to disable or hide the kernel boot messages. Does anyboby know how to accomplish this?

Thanks

the kernel doasn't show anything, the hardware autodetection script doas, but why you want to hide this? This tells you what drivers was loaded and if all is ok.

I think that it is important to be showed.

While that is good advice, I'm sure all of us can think of a few situations where hidding the hardware autodetection script.

1. Grandma's computer where she might go into a techno panic from all this jibbity jabbity running across the screen.

2. A kiosk situation where the image of your business is important and an end user would never trouble shoot a failed hardware situation.

etc.

I would like to know if it's possible and how to do it as well.

The original knoppix livecd had a "splashscreen" function.

It is possible that this feature also exists inside DSL.

Search Google or the Knoppix web site for information on how to try the splashscreen function.
