[systemd-devel] [HEADSUP] We no longer spawn 6 gettys by default

Hi,

I think it's ok to only activate the getty programs on demand. Maybe
use only mingetty??
Who works on the serial line these days? mingetty is faster....

I would like to add the following:

I had some trouble with logmessages on my screen while the login is
there already.
This has probably something to do with the asynchronous behaviour of
the system startup
systemd does.

Now to make these messages go away not polluting my login screen, I added the

quiet

option  on the kernel commandline. This worked, and the login is there
in about 3seconds!

BUt I still would like to see the logmessages somewhere, like the
network coming up, and what ip assigned etc.

Isn't it a nice thing to have one tty assigned to be a "logconsole",
ie no login there, but logmessages?

Stef
