Peter, Thanks for the info - I now have Tux on screen every time I boot to good ol' Linux. Just curious - if I were trying to make a system look "friendlier" for a new Linux user - might there be a way to hide the Kernel and rc.d messages behind a large Tux (like Windows does with the Windows logo)?

How do you even get the penguin to appear? It popped up when booting the setup CD ROM (6.4), but when the actual system started, it didn't appear.
Thanks, Tim
Hi Tim
Edit your lilo.conf /etc/lilo.conf and comment out (if its there) VGA=normal to VGA=771 or 773 this depends on the size of the text you want to see and save the file.In your term window type Lilo to run it and re-start your system,you should then be able to see the penguin :)

I think it can be done by changing the linux/linux_logo.h file in the kernel includes, but I have yet to test this as I do not wish to reconfigure and recompile my kernel. am> If anybody knows if this method will work or knows how to change the logo without recompiling the kernel, please let me know. am>
Check the linux.com site there was a whole section on kernel tweaks and that was included.
