MottS Posted April 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2003 HEY !! I really like that progress bar. You guys in Mandrake can play with it no prob .. out of the box. In Gentoo I had to patch the kernel to enable framebuffer bootsplash with the patch they supply on the website (it's in the portage tree). I currently have this image when I boot. http://www.kde-look.org/content/download.p...hp?content=5062 I'll try to get the progress bar --> this one: http://www.bootsplash.org/silent-mode.jpg Thanks for the link bvc !

jlc Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 I found these while rummaging through cooker. You can get them bye doing the following. I don't know if they will work on 9.1, but they are from "cooker" # rpm -Uvh ftp://ftp.cse.buffalo.edu/pub/Linux/Mandrake/mandrake/current/i586/Mandrake/RPMS.cooker/bootsplash-themes-1.4.1-1mdk.i586.rpm Also found these on another site. http://www.bfcomputerconsulting.com/mandra...bootsplash.html This one just looks clean and sweet.

MottS Posted September 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 Edit: BTW am running gentoo... Phunni, you have to run a old version of Lilo. Don't know why but the latest stable one doesn't work with xray-bootsplash. Look in /usr/portage and install an old version of lilo .. this is going to work.

mandrakewilson Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 This works in 9.2-rc2 also, but I also had to load the earlier version of lilo whose link was posted above. Excellent. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you ever get this working? I can't seem to figure out how you specify which image to have while booting - I have framebuffer working, but it's just a small penguin at the top...
