This is probably a dumb question, but how do I get back the text boot
while preserving the graphical login? Also, I noticed that the shutdown is
still text-based (that is, when I can actually see the messages, often only
the last few are visible - this has been an intermittent problem for years).
Shouldn't both startup and shutdown be the same type, for symmetry?

o Fedora Core 0.94 now uses a graphical interface while booting. The
graphical boot screen will appear once the kernel has loaded.
Presently the graphical boot interface has known issues with respect
to interactions with the Kudzu hardware probing tool; work on
resolving these issues is proceeding. Graphical booting is controlled
by the GRAPHICAL line in the /etc/sysconfig/init file; set it to "no"
to permanently disable graphical booting.
To disable graphical booting, append "nogui" to your bootloader
command line.

Are you planning to cover the ugly/scary/intimidating/non-desktopish
kernel boot with a splash screen ala Mandrake, SuSE, Lindows, Lycoris,
Xandros, et. al?

I'd rather work on cleaning up the boot messages so they aren't
so scary -- there's a lot of noise there IMHO. But that part
really only takes a couple of seconds...
If we do a graphical kernel splash, it's got to be as decent code
that stands a good chance of acceptance upstream. As I mentioned
before, that doesn't include grovelling through memory looking for
something that resembles a JPEG file.

I'd like to see some sort of process messages going on with the boot.
Even just having a process name showing on the graphical boot would cue
people better into if the system is locked or proceeding normally.
Not having an indication of the systems activity is distracting to me. I
saw the OK (green) and failed (red) process prompts on Slackware, before
seeing them on Red Hat releases.
Instead of a twirling monkey or Fedora. These tire quickly. As the bar
for the other OS. I would like to see something along the lines of a
stop light (Red - failed, green succeeded or yellow for in-process) with
the process name.
Even a Fedora type of hat, with the process being displayed as the
emblem, changing with the process status. (Any color you'd like to
present).
I like the text messages, but can understand that too much information
is alarming to some users.

Sorry, we're talking about different things here. I'm talking about
kernel messages before init is started. You are talking about messages
AFTER init starts.
