[syslinux] Disable clear screen

[Dag Wieers]

Hi,

Is it possible to disable the clear screen when loading syslinux ?

Since the IBM BIOS on xSeries systems shows the MAC address of the onboard 
NICs, I would like to have them on screen when people do a kickstart 
fro mthe prompt using eg: ksdevice=<MAC address>

I personally think that the clear screen is unwanted in most cases since 
people can add that to the boot message (ctrl-L) if they need it. If all 
the drivers in POST would do a clear screen, it would be very 
discomforting and even if syslinux is an exception (being the last one in 
the row) removing vital messages just before could lead to undetected 
problems.
