so where's my graphical boot?

I hope that RedHat realizes there is a ton of confusion about the entire
graphical boot concept. It's featured, but not there after an upgrade
unless one downloads the rhgb package.  People want to be able to turn
in on or turn it off easily.  Nothing about it is intuitive.

It's a nice feature...in the grand scheme of an OS, certainly not the
most important feature. BUT, very visible, and potentially very
frustrating.
