Good to hear.

I believe usplash go from left to right when counting down.

I tested the patch with usplash enabled like this:

  debug=echo sh debian/sysv-rc/etc/init.d/rc 2
  PREVLEVEL=2 debug=echo sh debian/sysv-rc/etc/init.d/rc 1

It does not seem to do what it should.  It fail to reach 100 when
reaching kdm, and there is no progress info for the stop scripts.  Did
I misunderstood what this patch is supposed to do?  I believe the
correct behavoir is for the progress bar to reach 100 when kdm/xdm/gdm
is starting, and to stay there.  The code in svn continue counting
after 100, and that is a bug.

The code in the patch to count progress steps also seem to fail to
take into account that some kill scripts will not be executed.

Friendly,
