Well, I've been using Mandrake on my laptop, and I've been pimpin' out the GUI. Now, the only thing I'd really like to change is the Mandrake BootSplash. I've been having a helluva time trying to figure out how to make one.. they seems to have attempted to allow you to change the picture, etc, but I can't get it to work. I also found a site with a 'boot splash maker' but the file had been taken down, pending an upcoming release about 8 months ago. (So I assume it is never gunna happen) Doe anyone know where I can find out info on how to customize this? I'd love to be able to make one, and I'd possibly even make my own bootsplash maker if I learned how to make these well enough.
did you try the "drakboot" thinggy in mandrake? it's in the control center (boot section) or you can call it fom a terminal... i've never used it, but it looks like it lets you use your own custom bootsplash and boot loader themes... i don't know how to make your own theme, though... some googling might help... http://www.google.com/linux
why don't you post a screenshot of your pimped-out box? it might give some bootsplash jedi the inspiration to show you the way...
Thanks, I just did a fresh install on my laptop, and I've getting everything done... they have a new version of bootsplash with a progress bar, so I'm going to play with that... but thanks for the info... I'll have to see how it works for lilo. I'll post osme pictures as soon as I get something working.
