Re: making grub completely silent

Hello,

this is a continued thread from bug-grub@gnu.org. I have taken
it here (thanks Jerome) where it seems to suit better.

A short abstract:
I'd like to have an option to make grub be less verbose.
I was thinking about an numeric verbosity level that would
control how 'severe' a message needs to be to be shown.

I spent an hour thinking how to convince you that this will
prove useful, and wrote a long and boring passage :-)

The short essence is: why not? I'm creating an embedded device,
and the message just bugs me. Other users might agree. Maybe
not. But I would implement it myself, and unless you mind the
ten to fifteen lines of extra code I hope you will think about
taking it into grub? It would supersede the 'silent'-function,
so it might even make some code redundant.

I'm hoping for a discussion and for some guidance on how you
would want it implemented.

Cheers,
  Mario Emmenlauer
