See RedHat 7.0 (broken, not beta).  The lilo there has a graphic screen
with Mr. RedHat and a arrow up/down menu.  Also with lilo you can choose
to have NO display and only display if a key is hit before timeout.

But I would have agreed with you 2 months ago.  

I don't need, or want, graphics on bootup, but I am not a windows user
either.  I want to use GRUB in a distribution so I want "idot screens"
;) on boot.  "Preposterous People Prefer Pretty Pictures Predominately"
