   Yup.  I had that same thought, and have removed that character.

   Ahh, okay.

   For posterity's sake, I discovered that that output (to stdout)  
from fsck is normal, but can be prevented with the "notitle" setting,  
which for fsck is "-T".  If I modify checkfs.sh to add a -T to the  
fsck line mentioned earlier, that ugly bit goes away.

   *But*, if the right answer is just to get rid of the fsck, that  
should only require deleting the /etc/init.d/checkfs.sh, and links to  
it, correct?  That shouldn't be too hard to do somewhere in live- 
helper...  Would that really be the right answer?  Just not doing a  
fsck at all?  I guess it makes sense, since in theory the filesystem  
on the CD can't really be dirty.  Does it work the same with with USB  
or disk-based live systems?
