How do I make a lilo graphical boot message


Hi I am setting up a live CD that can be installed to hard drive... the disk is pretty much finnished but I would like to use a custom lilo boot screen for after the distro has been installed to HDD, I though about just installing one manually by editing the lilo.conf but when you install from this CD the lilo.conf is generated (obviously to contain your corect partition table), I then tryed to edit the script that creates lilo.conf (with no joy). So does anybody know how I can create a lilo graphical boot message which is stored in /boot/message to replace the boring one allready there

I will continue googling till I hear from you guys

Cheers

Jym

Hi, as the lilo.conf is generated by the installer script it will make no difference if i change the lilo.conf as after the os has been installed it will default back to the other lilo splash. I have since had another look at the installer script and worked out how to editi it to point to my custom lilo boot splash

Cheers
