Turning off "quiet splash"

[Norman Walsh]

Running Dapper...

I can't stand the graphical "splash screen" booting options. For one
thing, I have encrypted partitions so there's always this annoying
pause half way through the boot when it waits a few seconds before
switching to the text screen so I can see the prompts.

So I edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and delete the quiet splash keywords
From defoptions:

## additional options to use with the default boot option, but not with the
## alternatives
## e.g. defoptions=vga=791 resume=/dev/hda5
# defoptions=

And all is well...until the next kernel update is apt-get installed.
Everytime a new kernel is installed, some script puts those options
back. What do I have to change so that those options are never
"restored"?

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
