kubuntu's start up graphic is "nice" but I like the scrolling text!

I just installed Edgy on a nice new Gateway laptop (MT6451 Notebook PC)
It has an AMD Turion 64x2 processor and a 120 gig HD

Unlike most windows users I don't get uncomfortable when a bunch of text
scrolls past my screen at boot time. In fact I get uncomfortable when it
doesn't. I "LIKE" seeing a lot of lines ending in "[OK]" or "[PASS]"
I'll admit it's mostly pointless because when I do see a red "[FAIL]" it
usually scrolls past so fast I can't see what didn't work. But at least
it lets me know that I want to look at dmesg. But mostly I just always
get uncomfortable when an OS tries to hide it from me. Especially after I
already ditched the gui login screen with:

sudo update-rc.d -f kdm remove

(I use startx when/if I'm ready for a gui)

I probably had to do something to breezy to get this to be displayed
on tty1 when I first installed it on my p3 desktop. But I can't remember
what. I do know it didn't change back when I used dist-upgrade to switch
the p3 to dapper.

Would someone remind me how to ditch the pretty graphic startup?
