Hello

I have a very silly question. How do you changethe " [ok] " word that appears when linux boots up to something else like " [done] ".

I guess its possible. Because Cross (Cross is X anyway) and Tick Mark (its in the Extended ASCII set) are available for echo in scripts via the octal codes (check your scripting reference on how to echo ASCII characters using octal codes).

Extended ASCII refers to ASCII characters from decimal 128 to decimal 255.
