Possible to switch between console boot + Mandriva Speedboot-like boot at LILO?
With the new xorg and kernel in Slackware-current, I wanted to know if it is possible to set up two entries in LILO;
-one in which Slackware boots to the console, you see all the kernel messages and end up at the login prompt,
-another in which Slackware boots like modern distributions with KDM/GDM?
I remember when Mandriva (I think it was Mandriva) linux had introduced it's speedboot setup, in which it would load KDM/GDM (the log-in screen) as soon as it can, and then the desktop, while the rest of the system boots. I just remember seeing an article on Mandriva's speedboot a couple months ago, so I might be a little outdated on my knowledge of this boot technique.
I apologize for seeming to want to modernize slackware, I tried switching to Mandriva, but I was so used to Slacking that I found it hard to switch.
Thanks for any info.
