verbose & quiet
Here's a list of the effects verbose and quiet have on dbootstrap.
verbose:
For LiveCD, ask for the install media (should be livecd)
Always ask which mountpoint to mount volumes to
Warn that earlier kernels do not support newer filesystems
Warn that pre-2.4.1 kernels do not support ReiserFS 3.6
quiet:
Suppress confirm before writing the aboot bootloader
Suppress confirm before overwriting master boot record
Suppress 'Important Information about installed MBR'
Don't ask for confirm if only one archive path was found
No invitation to install additional modules from floppy
Don't mention that s390 doesn't support reboot
Suppress confirmation that detected interface is PCMCIA
Suppress message about successful DHCP configuration
Suppress long message about Lilo and large disk support
Suppress long message about PALO and large disk support
Suppress SGI disklabel note from Dvhtool
Don't chatter about how much disk space ReiserFS uses
Don't explain what Apple_Bootstrap is
Put the first partition mounted on / without asking
Don't offer to scan for bad blocks
Don't ask before initializing as XFS, ext2/3, ReiserFS, swap
Avoid trying to persuade a swap partition is good
Don't lecture before rebooting the system
Should this be documented somewhere? Or is it fairly useless info that
will be difficult to keep up to date?
