Description Jonathan Primeau 2004-02-10 14:06:27 UTC

Gentoo is about choice... It would be great to have the choice to not display the fancy gentoo splash and borders when booting from the LiveCD. It is annoying since it takes precious space on the screen. A nosplash parameter could be easily added:

boot: gentoo nosplash

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Oh, sorry about the cliche "Gentoo is about choice..."

What I meant is, it would be nice to have that feature...

Again, sorry.

gentoo splash=off should work fine

Comment 3 Brad House 2004-02-10 14:47:33 UTC

and to turn off the framebuffer, you can append a -nofb to the
kernel name you're trying to boot (without a space!)
like:

gentoo-nofb
