This may be marginal for on topic, but I'd like to ask if anyone knows how SuSE programmed the green-gray-white opening screen with the salamander and the scrolling text box in the middle? My version is 7.2. And it's the screen I see from lilo boot up till shutdown. My guess is that it has something to do with the generic VESA video driver and the builtin framebuffer device. But that's pretty low level stuff. Could it be they have an X server running? I have a project in mind that could use an environment like that opening screen. A graphics language for middle school kids to introduce them to programming concepts. The suse list for American schools seems relatively dead. The UK one has a little activity. Thanks, Tom.
