Comment 14 for bug 137136

Hi Tormod,

Thanks for writing back. Ah, yes. I understand better now. Then my
humble suggestion would be to mention /etc/default/grub and the
supports_quiet=false option within the comments of menu.lst (the
magically reappearing quiet grub option is what brought my annoying
self here) :) That would satisfy this software engineer, recently
converted to linux.

Thanks and I go away now (happily) :)
