Hi
When I boot my linux system, it shows all the hardware and other infos. I dont like to show all this infos, after I switched on my machine. After I switched on
my machine, It should directly enter into desktop. I mean, hidden all
booting process in background, but in monitor should not show anything. How
can I do this. Any facilities are available in initrc?.

Thanks

Hi,
you might want to consdier looking up the linux boot process, I'd guess
most of the info you are talking about is the linux kernel booting,
which is well before init kicks in.

one thing you can do is add the 'quiet' flag on the bootline, that will
reduce the noise by quite a lot.

Another alternative is to setup the kernels console to be /dev/ttyS0 -
if you have a serial port in the device - that way, you get zero chatter
on the default display, while if you have a problem, plugging into the
device over serial will give you all the chatter.

you can rewrite the init scripts to also suppress all the stuff ( but,
I'd recommend you look at 'rhgb' or something similar to give the user
some feedback on the process ).

Thanks

I used kernel option "quiet" to hide this messages (I tried this
option to reduce the boot-up time). But after booting, you can see
those messages using the dmesg command.

Thanks

ok let me try out.,
thank you friends..for the great help.

I find that one of the sexiest things in linux is watching those
messages scroll by.
