I agree with James. I want a nice splash once I | know my system is running ok, and I don't want to have to struggle | to get it.

So +1 for NOT | activating support by default, but making it easy to get if | required. seems we have a polarisation here... some are against it, some are for it. can you guys who think we should add this patch please tell me the reason why it cannot be a fork-package of initscripts but has to be integrated? - D -- .·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.·´ ° ° ° ° ° ° ><((((º> ° ° ° ° ° <º)))>< <º)))><
