Plymouth is the new graphical boot system introduced with the release of Fedora 10 Cambridge. It replaced the rhgb (RedHat Graphical Boot) with a snazzier boot screen that supported cool animations. The first version of Plymouth that shipped with Cambridge used a plugin system where each graphical boot animation had to be coded from scratch - something that did not encourage many people to create

Ubuntu Karmic : Changes between Grub 1.x and Grub2
Posted on 1:43 AM by Unknown
Grub Legacy is not present in Karmic. People who upgrade from earlier versions may have the option of keeping Grub Legacy or upgrade to Grub2.

If you do a new install of Karmic you may install it (Grub2) on the partition instead of MBR and chainload it from existing Grub Legacy.
But I suggest everyone to just learn

This limits the effect

When a kernel encounters certain errors it calls the "panic" function which results from a unrecoverable error. This panic results in LKCD (Linux Kernel Crash Dump) initiating a kernel dump where kernel memory is copied out to the pre-designated dump area. The dump device is configured as primary swap by default. The kernel is not completely functional at this point, but there is enough

HowTo get the firstboot screen again in Fedora/RedHat
Posted on 9:15 PM by Unknown
The first time the system boots, the /sbin/init program calls the /etc/rc.d/init.d/firstboot script, which in turn launches the Setup Agent.

To run it the next time the system boots, remove /etc/
