Changing the boot style? Stupid question...


BTW, I know, I know, its a stupid question!

I was wondering if I can add something like "Free BSD style" at the end of each line when loading like an animation \|/|\|/ on the current line loading like "hotplug detection" blablabla. I just like it and Im missing because I used FreeBSD for long time hehe...

its the same thing but with an animated (text /-\|-) bar on the current line while loading, also, slackware boot method is bsd based.

No, it is not BSD-based. And even not completely BSD-like compared to RCng in NetBSD and FreeBSD. The main difference with SysV is that Slack has a per-runlevel script (very much like BSD had, and IIRC OpenBSD still has).
