Title: clear in /root/.profile
Post by: hiro on October 24, 2012, 12:26:43 PM
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  :P

As it is now, seems a perfect transition, IMHO

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