clear in /root/.profile

[hiro]

I just searched through the init scripts to find the place where the screen gets cleared after boot, and like so many times before I have now put my own .profile into /root which omits calling clear.

But I also heard complaints from others about this, so I thought perhaps you might feel entitled to remove this invocation from the base install.

It's both annoying and useless IMHO.

Oh that's so old school 

As it is now, seems a perfect transition, IMHO

where's the wobbly window and transparently animated swoosh then? we need 3d consoles now!

I found out there's yet another clear in tc-config.
how do *you* guys look at error messages that occur while booting?
