Hi

Is there any way I can set a boot screen for my blfs system.

Im creating the system for a novice user and dont want to scare him with the boot screen with all those commands and code showing.

Im a web designer as well and was wondering once I have the boot screen up I wanted to change it to some animation or gif I could creating of my own company...

Ive seem some pretty outdated posts about boot screens and I dont want to risk following those guides as they could destroy my current system. I have installed blfs using the blfs Version 2012-07-10 book

This is out of scope for (B)LFS. If I'm assuming that you have build BLFS on top of a recent LFS version, grub2 is used to boot.

Search on-line for grub2 boot screen or grub2 splash screen to get a ton of hits. Here is one to get you going:
- Splashimages for GRUB2

Do keep in mind that most tutorials are distro specific......

Usually Plymouth is the thing program used for something like that.

Then make a backup first.

could do what you want, although it was for slackware it should work for lfs just put the code I guess somewhere in the front of /etc/rc.d/init.d/rc
