Or the way io think HP/UX does, with a translucent linux logo behind the
bootup text..
im not sure hwo practical this would be.. and maybe it'd add too much
to the kernel size, then again if yer using a low colour 16 colour or 256
colour logo or something then it may work.. and then maybe make a piece of
code that doesnt show it on a video card that is les sthan VGA
(i know people who are using MDA and EGA cards in servers, just because
they only need a text based interface)
anyway.. just my 2cents..
If such an idea didnt take off it wouldnt really bother me..
linux is a nighty fine OS without the pretty bootup..
at least the bootup is informative :)
Regards, Jim.
