Question Changing The Fedora Start-Up Image


Hello!

Is there any way to customize/change the image that is shown during the boot of Fedora?
Not the grub menu, but the booting up of Fedora when it starts the networking devices, etc.

Thanks!

Well

If you have KDE, go to main menu/Control panel and under Appearance & Themes select "Splash Screen". Probably in similar area for gnome.

I'm not talking about the KDE splash, but what comes up before GDM even starts.
The system startup sequence. Any way that I can change that image that appears?

Yeah
I kind of figured out I recommended the wrong thing after I re-booted which had been a long time since the last re-boot. To me, if one would be able to change that display, it would have to be either through X11 or gdm, probably X11 because neither KDE, Gnome, or GDM are up & running yet during that stage of the boot process. So maybe look around X11 forums if there are any, and/or X11 configuration/default settings.

EDIT: When I was looking to customize something with kppp, I e-mailed the KDE team and told them what I was after and if there was a way I could do it. Just another suggestion.
