     I did a fresh install of SL 4.5 on a system that had been running SL
3.0.5 and noticed I didn't get the grub menu listing all the kernels.  I like
seeing that.  I did some googling and I eventually found out that the
`hiddenmenu' option was on in the new /boot/grub/grub.conf file, so I
commented that out and now that works as I want.  I also like seeing the
detail information on boot up.  I like seeing all the services starting up, so
I know everything is fine.  However, I have yet to figure out how to turn that
on by default.  Even when I click on the show details option while it is
booting up, it works for a while and then disappears.  I have to click it
again to have it come back up.  Anyone here know what I need to do to get the
old behavior back again?  Thanks.
