hi guys,
Actually I want an image at boot time that can suppress the background processes(Fedora),that we can see in the console.The image must be there for a front end,and want to disappear just before the graphic login start(eg:gnome,KDE).Any tools are avilable for this purpose other than splashy,boot splash,so that we can embedded the image in to the kernel itself.
Rgrds,

ahhh not that I know of other than those you have already mentioned.

what is wrong with the current kernel hide splash you are using? why can't you config it?
