I admit that *might* be what he intended, but he didn't say that, and it isn't really clear from his post:At 17:12 1/1/2004, you wrote:

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.
Did you miss the part where it said "Graphical booting is controlled by the GRAPHICAL line in the /etc/sysconfig/init file; set it to "no" to permanently disable graphical booting.", or do you feel that this does not answer your question?
Setting GRAPHICAL to "no" will disable rhgb, giving you the standard console boot messages, which is practically the same as "show details" in rhgb, it's just less pretty.
The OP did not ask how to disable the graphical bootup; he asked how to have it always show details. These are NOT the same thing.
Is there any way for me to edit a file for Fedora
so that when the computer boots I don't have to
click on the "show details" every time to see what
is going on?
If you edit grub.conf, take off the "rhgb", then when you boot, you'll see all the details, without having to click on anything. If he installed the graphical boot without really realizing what it would do, then he would have no way of knowing that the text-only boot was also available. Especially, as it seems, he may not have had prior experience with a Red Hat boot....
