Booting to Slideshow


I am working on a college project and want to finish it with a bang.

I'm trying to make a linux CD that boots on CD (like knoppix) but when it boots it just goes to a series of changing jpegs instead of booting to the system (to impress the ladies).

I've tried a few things and have a general idea of what i'm doing, but then again I may have no clue what i'm doing. I've tried changing the load image when syslinux enters xwin, but it won't change or it comes up all obscure.

please help, I need a good grade :-)

thanks,
adam

You might want to give X a miss, and
use http://bytesex.org/fbi.html instead... :)



Cheers,
Tink

Interesting, thanks... That sparks another question in my mind.. Could I use video also?

hmm.. endless the posibilities are. I could theoretically boot to a mpeg and loop it, correct?


thanks a million

Have you looked at how Movix works? That should provide all the essentials, and a good base for tweaking to your needs.
