The Penguin GRUB Bootup Menu...
 

Hola!

Once upon a time, in the not so distant past, I installed suse10.2 on a PC.

And on this occasion, when i rebooted the machine, i was greeted with a "Penguin" Bootup Menu at the GRUB screen.
I am referring to the screen where you choose which OS you want to boot,(there is also a little timer coutdown that choose your default OS if you don't pick one).

YES, there were penguins walking around on the Screen.
That is the only way i can explain it.

Anyways, the penguins are gone now. I only see the default opensuse10.2 Grub screen now. But i want to get the penguins back.

Does anyone know what i'm talking about?? = ]

lol

I know what you are talking about and was thinking the same thing, mine still comes up about every fourth or fifth time. There has to be a way to set it as default, will check into it, maybe someone else can help.

Ha!

This first appeared with an update just before Xmas 2006. I still haven't found where it is!

I have 3 Suse 10.2 installs with different stages of update, and they have all started doing it again at random. When it does it during a demo most non-Linux people want to know how they can get it on Windows.

Bah! Humbug!

The xmas grub theme is something like an eastern egg...

Want to enable it? follow this guide :

edit gfxboot.cfg with nano or other editor and change the value of penguin from -1 to 100
Save and replace the old message with new one

Reboot and enjoy

Thanks onjoo....
