Wuss :-P

I wondered about that too so I tried :-

# defoptions= 
             ^ trailing space

and that works fine BUT update-grub strips the trailing space so the
next update-grub sets the line back to quiet splash.

I also tried :-

# defoptions=fish fingers

because we all know penguins like fish fingers and upgrade-grub lets
this through and makes no changes to the defoptions line.

The machine also boots OK proving my theory about penguins liking fish
fingers :-)

TTFN
