Not to worry, Randall... I've been around Linux for a while now, and I
couldn't find anything in the release notes to answer your question either.
Perhaps Simon didn't understand your question and provided an answer to
"how do I set up my computer to use the graphical boot" instead of "how do
I always show details in the graphical boot".



Ah, sorry, I misunderstood. I have never tested this solution, but this is how I would do it: in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit, at line 92 is where rhgb is started. You only need to add a line:


rhgb-client --details=yes

after rhgb is started. Maybe you will have to add a

sleep N

where N is replaced by the appropriate number of seconds that you must wait for the X server to start. So do something like that:

/usr/bin/rhgb
sleep 5
/usr/bin/rhgb-client --details=yes

for example. Good luck!



I think there's a much simpler solution :-) I tried the rhgb, decided I always wanted to see the details anyway, noted that the rhgb was slower anyway, so I just disabled rhgb and use the regular boot, which not only always shows you the details, but shows them in a font big enough to read (the console 25x80 font, as opposed to the default X-size drawn on 1600x1200 screen)!
