* '''Launchpad Entry''': UbuntuSpec:usplash-detailed-boot
* '''Packages affected''': usplash

== Summary ==
This specification outlines the method for displaying boot details without switching VTTYs and video modes.

== Rationale ==
usplash hides valuable detailed boot output in another VTTY. It is beneficial to provide better access to that output because:

1)The method of switching between VTTYs may be unknown to portions of the user community.
2)Switching VTTYs usually leads to unappealing switching of video modes. 

== Use Cases ==

== Scope ==

== Design ==

== Implementation ==
Fedora/Red Hat's graphical boot (rhgb) provides a toggle to hide or show boot details.

usplash should provide similar functionality, via a similar toggle or instructions to "Press F1 for boot details". Details should be hidden by default.


== Outstanding Issues ==
May supercede [[UsplashFsckProgress]]
May be related to [[SlickBoot]]

== BoF agenda and discussion ==
