Also I can assure Eric Hameleers that his resume does not look at all like yours, even usually me and him we are on divergent positions!

What I see as your resume: a 12 years old attitude, a proud for nothing who better go along from this community, if all you have to say here is royal bullshit.

PS. I wait you to do some better attack on person, preferable on me, to report you to moderators and got your ban here. Be my guest to continue to behave like a real dork!

Or maybe a moderator can lock this thread, as it becoming the latest obsession of our unnamed resident and auto-entitled genius?

If your only comeback is calling me childish, I have already won the war. I can keep it civil. We don't need girl scouts who aren't helping the matter but making it worse and so far that's what he has done. Closing the thread, I open a new one asking for help and I get the same people crying instead of helping is not a solution. I will not disrespect anyone but if I'm disrespected I will defend myself. The cheerleaders only make things worse.
Didier Spaier has made a valid post. Lets be constructive or let's go to war.

About what war you talk, kid? Or, I should say "chyld" ???

You just demonstrated me again that you are some 12 years old (or maybe you are 10 ?), who believe that he can have fun coming to this forum, doing "wars" and insulting major figures of the Slackware community...

Please, go instead to your beloved IRC and do as you like "wars" with the other kids from your Texan village, while trying to keep being civil here! You impress no one with your utter crap!

Better to do it, as we are really not impressed by your bullshit...

PS. You better study also, well... better the English language instead of doing lame "wars" here, because is so lame to write "chyld" instead of "child" in your own username, even for a non-native English speaker, like me.

PROBLEMCHYLD, you've been a member long enough to know our policy on reviving old threads (and if you don't, feel free to contact me directly). Additionally, personal attacks/flamewars and off-topic/non-constructive posts aren't acceptable and won't be tolerated moving forward. Thanks.

I'm sorry but I couldn't resist. Some people feel that because alien Bob has contribute so much to Slackware, its ok for him to be rude, condescending and talk to people however he wants. Patrick does NOT disrespect people even though he is the founder. You have never seen me disrespect him either. I am NOT the person that's going to accept it. You don't tell a person to go to culinary school to make a chili-dog no matter how easy it might seems. You don't tell a person to use their brain when you are subliminally calling them dumb or stupid. I don't know about other countries, but in my country, you will NOT be respected unless you are giving some in return. And, the drama queen (Darth Vader) thinks he can speak his mind and I'm suppose to just lie down. alien bob moved on, I moved on, but DV had to continue to snowball the feud. So if the mods wanna close this topic, I'll politely start a new one and see if that snowballs. Its not about how old or new a topic is, I thought it was suppose to be based on relevance.

Jeremy allow me to at least rectify this bit for PROBLEMCHYLD: in an interview I gave once, I said "Slackware assumes you are smart! This appeals to people". Hence my suggestion to use your brain to solve issues. Call it jest, but I am not calling people "subliminally dumb or stupid". If I think someone is stupid, I will clearly say so.
In the meantime, I also believe I provided sufficient information in my reply that PROBLEMCHYLD can implement his idea of a bootsplash. If he runs into issues during implementation I am certain that people will assist if he provides sufficient background information about what he has tried so far... in a new thread.

I don't have any issues with alien Bob or anyone else. He spoke his mind, I spoke mines. We are all grown men and women. If you give me just a little respect I'll return it with the utmost.

I'm going to attempt this method but the patch is very outdated. Do anyone have an updated patch for the latest Kernel?

Outdated Patch

Not sure if I need the bootsplash-3.1.tar.bz2 updated

This Bootsplash thing is (or was) used by SuSE, so I suggest you to lurk into their Source RPMs repositories.

Some RPM Builder knowledge is required and not for fancy hearts tough, also probably your hand will be bitten by SystemD; trust the "drama queen" as he had done that in the past...

Yet, the most efficient way to do it, at least in the past, while Slackware 12.2 era.

BUT bear in mind that those today custom thingies from the major distros would probably don't work into Slackware, as our beloved distribution make a pride on to not use SystemD, while almost all others use it...

See that someone managed to implement a bootsplash over Slackware's BusyBox, it is a thread in this forum about, and maybe you can update that to today Slackware.

I do not recommend you something else today, because of that SystemD thing.

PS. And you lament that Eric is a bad guy and bully. Still, I see that he already given you a proper link for: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...isited-823253/ This way I recommend you, too...
