Why????

I see the exit of rhgb followed by the OK messages and then the gdm login screen. I have seen this behavior for some time.
I don't think it is by design. Why it happens, I have no idea.

known bug, and should be fixed in latest rhgb that came  out last night
or early this morning. Version your looking for that I think has the fix
is rhgb-8.0.1-1.fc8.


Thanks for the notice.

It doesn't exit as before. It doesn't tell you what process is being performed any longer either. Either the labels announcing what is going on currently or a label or visual representation that the bar passes would be nice. A blank bar introduces one of the annoyances that MS products expose users to. There is no clue to what is happening behind the scenes. I realize this is probably intentional for users who only care that the computer boots. It just seems to dumb down an impression Linux has as a plus to the environment.
