Good point, thank you for this. I will evaluate this. Sounds
reasonable.

Ahh, they are not used to real computers ;-)

Pity. I remember someone took a look at the process, if it could
be captured somehow and such. Most likely he was not lucky.
[check...]
DLD has a new boot system (tabular view daemon ... [status]
). http://s-direktnet.de/homepages/erik/linux.html I am afraid you

Looks cool, but would require lots of changes. And it appears to be
commercial (he doesn't state this directly, but I deduct it from the
rest of the pages).
I could ask him, If we could at least get the part which captures the
boot messages. Lets see how much has to change for this.
