i am trying to run linux-logo before the login screen i add this to the
/etc/rc.d/rc.local file but that doesnt work

if [ -f /usr/local/bin/linux_logo ]; then
echo "" > /etc/issue
/usr/local/bin/linux_logo -t "$R" >> /etc/issue

I might be wrong, but I always thought that rc.local was loaded after runlevel 5. ( rc.d5 )

Well, how could you run the Linux logo before then, if you put it in rc.local ?
Try to make a script, and put a link in rc.d3 or 5 with the letter S ( from start ) and a number before the name of the link. ( just guessing ! )
