On this proposal, I think that some graphic banner while booting could
be beautiful to the eye, but quite void in usefullness. I'm not against
it, but can't see any real advantage. Anyway if someone feels like
spending some time on this feature and the results does not bring any
regression to the system I don't see why it should not be offered as an
option.

On the other hand I think some tidying up in the rc sctripts boot
messages would really REALLY be a good idea. I don't mean anything
drastic, just that in 5.x(as was altready pointed out) the output is a
bit messy, and even if I can sort it out uite clearly out of habit, it
would be better if it was a bit more structured and ordered.

My 2 cents...nothing more, nothing less.
