     1.4 +Plymouth is an application that runs very early in the boot process
     1.5 +(even before the root filesystem is mounted!) that provides a graphical
     1.6 +boot animation while the boot process happens in the background.
     1.7 +
     1.8 +It is designed to work on systems with DRM modesetting drivers.
     1.9 +The idea is that early on in the boot process the native mode for the
    1.10 +computer is set, plymouth uses that mode, and that mode stays throughout
    1.11 +the entire boot process up to and after X starts.
    1.12 +Ideally, the goal is to get rid of all flicker during startup.
    1.13 +
    1.14 +For systems that don't have DRM mode settings drivers, plymouth falls
    1.15 +back to text mode (it can also use a legacy /dev/fb interface).
    1.16 +
    1.17 +In either text or graphics mode, the boot messages are completely occluded.
    1.18 +After the root file system is mounted read-write, the messages are dumped
    1.19 +to /var/log/boot.log.
    1.20 +Also, the user can see the messages at any time during boot up by hitting
    1.21 +the escape key.
