Try this:

1. Install the package 'startupmanager'
2. Go to System / Administration / StartUp-Manager
3. Make sure that "Show text during boot" is checked on the "Boot options" tabsheet

Now, when you reboot, messages will appear on the boot screen, below the logo. When it's time for an automatic disk check, it will also be shown on the boot screen; not with a progress bar, but with a % meter. There is an option to cancel it by pressing Esc.]]> Wed, 19 Mar 2008 06:54:59 +0000 Wed, 19 Mar 2008 16:02:13 +0000

Hi!

I'm not part of the Ubuntu community as I use another distro.

This idea (and its fix) is great! Was it reported upstream? Will it be?

I hope to see it on my new Fedora 9. Kudos to the Ubuntu community for making it!]]> Tue, 15 Apr 2008 11:43:31 +0000 Mon, 28 Apr 2008 16:51:36 +0000
It was a bit annoying that my ubuntu got branded as edubuntu and I couldn't find the tool to change it back! Now thanks to this thread, I have.]]> Tue, 15 Jul 2008 03:45:46 +0000
