Hi!
thanks for your reply.

I created that .conf file and put the content you requested into it.

The text is now a bit smaller, but still unacceptably ugly for a boot
sequence, particularly since I use this machine to show off Ubuntu Linux to
my non IT friends!

I demo to all how easy it is and not geeky etc.

This new text problem is so ugly and off-putting that I can no longer show
just anyone how good Linux is...

It's really a shame that this version of Ubuntu has such an ugly reversion
to old times when only PhD's could run Linux (I'm one ;-).

I hope you can fix it. Let me know if there's anything I can do.

Ciao,
bob.
