Some distributionas are quite pita when it comes to default setting on 
what should be sent to console. You need to use dmesg to set the level for 
what messages should be sent to the console.

dmesg -n 1

Your distribution should have a configuration file where you set the 
value, if you can't find it, then use the start script which is for "user" 
defined commands to be run at the end of bootup.

I'm not sure in which file the "info" is set, but the only files that 
firestarter never overwrite are user-post and user-pre, the firewall is 
rewritten if you run the "wizard" in the GUI and the rest of the files are 
written when you change rules which are allowed to connect and not.

If you want the GUI to use another default log level, then you need to 
download the source (you find that on the homepage) and then search for 
the row how it originally looks like in the source, and change it there 
and then compile the the GUI, replace the GUI you have installed with the 
one you compiled and it's fixed.

But it could be enough for you to just change the log level in the 
user-post file.
