You should be fine. Note that on your next kernel upgrade, however, the "rhgb quiet" will reappear unless you edit the /etc/default/grub file and those bits from the "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX" variable in there as well. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Memory is the second thing to go, but I can't remember the first! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
