    Grub defoptions

    I was trying to tweak the looks of my boot sequence with kubuntu. ( You guessed right= my system is working fine since all my problems relate only to looks)

    I looked for info on how to modify the grub menu: /boot/grub/menu.lst. Found a lot of stuff in the grub documentation.

    I stumbled however on what options are available under the defoptions setting of the debian automagic. These options decide what options are set in the kernel string in Grub: for ex:
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-25-k7 root=/dev/sda3 ro quiet splash vga=791
    for example what does quiet do, what are the options after vga, and how can i modify the splash. And what other options are available here?

    I'm attaching my menu.lst


    2. There is a second question/problem: The kubuntu boot-splash where all tasks appear under the blue kubuntu logo, switches at some point to a verbose mode. (the moment is when it displays: "checking all filesystems"). Does this mean there is an error there? Can I stop it from doing this and remain in splash mode?
