Hello all,
Just discovered that 7.1 gives me a beatiful boot prompt. Anyone knows were this thing lives? I checked the installed packages, but I didn't notice any obvious rpm's.
I sure looks very pretty! :-)
It is part of the lilo package. In /etc/lilo.conf, the message= option tells lilo which picture to use.
For some reason it did not come automatically here, so I tried playing with it myself. So far I have been able to get the picture to display, but the menu is complete gibberish.
Please could someone send me the file pointed to by the message option in their lilo.conf? or tell me where I can find an example for calling mklilomsg?
Regards
Ole
I don't know if this will help, but my lilo.conf file has the following lines at the beginning. I doubt they are all relevant to your question, but this is obviously the section that does the menu on my machines both with clean SuSE 7.1 installs. The message file is a 65k non-text file in a format I don't know. I didn't make it, so I assume lilo did it for me (or it is just the background). boot = /dev/hda vga = normal read-only menu-scheme = Wg:kw:Wg:Wg lba32 prompt timeout = 80 message = /boot/message Hope this is useful. regards, Mark
