Mount the first cdrom. Run /cdrom/suse/inst-sys/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/mk_lilo_message / (Yes! / is the argument to the script - you have to tell the script which directory that is your root-directory.) The picture that is used is /usr/share/lilo/suse_640x480.pcx, BTW, but that's all in the script. Regards Anders tisdagen den 3 april 2001 19:42 skrev Mike:

Hello all,
Just discovered that 7.1 gives me a beatiful boot prompt. Anyone

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
The only help I've found for this is in the /usr/share/doc/packages/lilo/README.graphics. It says that you can use mklilomsg --help for the commands.
The pictures have to be a certain size and color depth.
