Mandrake 8.2 start up


I've just got Mandrake 8.2 (woohoo!) But the first time I started it up I noticed an annoying new addition - a graphical start-up which gives you no information as to what's going on. Unlike Mandrake 8.0 and 8.1, this can't be changed from useful configuration tools. Anyone got any ideas to get it back to the classic look. Any help would be great

In the mandrake control center you can choose the startup mode you wish to have. You want to disable the Aurora thingie and choose Classic and then apply. You have to be root while doing this for it to apply changes good luck.

erm, as far as I can tell you don't have those options in control centre in 8.2. It's probably an option in a config file, but where?

This has been covered quite extensively over at the mandrake forum and it's an easy fix. I think you go into your lilo.conf file and remove the "quiet" option in the first "append =" line.

yeah, i found that out all by myself a day or so ago, and posted here about it. i don't know quite what mandrake does give you, as aurora seems to have been removed, and i upgraded by hand, but i certainly got confused when it stopped giving me all my [ OK ]'s
