I was wondering whether there was a command for after the kernel loading i.e. when the init process runs. The RGHB command only seems to hide the kernel being loaded.
That's true, however Fedora is able to hide it and it only displays a progress bar. I would prefer to be able to do that and hide what is going on in the machine from the user. Any thoughts?
How does Fedora do that? Investigate and post back the result. RHEL is based on Fedora 6 so it is possible that same thing is possible with same instructions.
Again I ask why? There is nothing a user can do with that information and you cannot prevent(without a ton of work) the user from being able to access that same information by other means. An easy example of this is system monitor, a normal user can use this to see all the processes that are running on the system.
if you press the < Esc > button on fedora 11 during boot the dialog WILL show up .
The same way as clicking on the " show progress " link in fedora 9,8,7,...
the only difference is in the "Plymouth" bootloader in RHEL 5.4 ( and 5.3 ) and fedora 11
What version of RHEL are you running ?
you might want to call your paid for tech support . You did pay for the security and software updates RIGHT ?
I think he would like to use advantages of Linux like excellent RAID solution, but to hide that fact from the users of the PC to avoid freaking them out. They are used to only the Windows logon picture.
