Thanks for your response.

Here is in excerpt:-
[
if they are shown at all, given we use graphical boot splash technology like 
Plymouth these days. Nonetheless the information of the boot screens was and 
still is very relevant, because it shows you for each service that is being 
started as part of bootup, wether it managed to start up successfully or 
failed (with those green or red [ OK ] or [ FAILED ] indicators).

I have looked at the documents on the systemd wikii.  The main page has a 
proud representation of a console boot-screen showing the  [ OK ]'s etc. And 
as I said, I am interested  NOT in using 'Plymouth/OR-other-graphical boot-
splash-screen but a 'console-boot-screen'  with the  [ OK ]'s   and  [ FAILED 
]'s  etc.  Is there documentation available how this is done in systemd?

Thanks in advance
