AFAIK has that be done in the kernel-wedge package. I hope that the message prevents users seeing a black screen for some undefined time. My proposal for the message is: Running kernel init scripts for the installation program... That has two improvement: - it says what is really going on - it doesn't need rebranding Geert Stappers Who dislikes the idea of changing "many strange text lines" into a "black screen"

tags 431204 - pending thanks To be honest, I'm not at all sure what the intention of this BR is. The quiet option has already been implemented and, despite the subject, that does not seem to be what this BR is about. If the report is just for this rather random message to be displayed, I have two comments: - a test using 'BOOT_DEBUG=3' yesterday showed that the main 'delay' is before _any_ d-i code gets executed and that the first dialog is shown almost immediately afterwards; this means that our options to "add" a message in the delay are probably extremely limited - as I said before, I suggest we wait to see what feedback we get before deciding if we need to change anything at all For these reasons I'm closing this BR. (I would have done so earlier if I'd realized that this _was_ a BR.) Cheers, FJPAttachment: pgp45ZdxNX_DC.pgp
