Hi... How do you make the boot loader to always look like the penguin in snow? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

This Easter Egg has been in SuSE for as long as I can remember (I started with 5.2). It appears so infrequently that it's a special day when you see it. I've only seen it a hand-full of times in all these years, I'd rather keep it as a mysterious Easter Egg myself.

It's the only reason i look forward for another kernel-patch. Otherwise the system never got a reboot ;-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Probably the first instance of the question: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2006-12/msg00223.html Maybe more useful: http://susewiki.org/index.php?title=Changing_the_GRUB_background -- " We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion."

This is from some old notes. It works ok with 11.2. pico is a small editor, you can replace it with kwrite or any. #cp /boot/message /root/message.bak #mkdir /root/bootbakmsg #cd /root/bootbakmsg #cpio -i < /boot/message #pico gfxboot.cfg edit ------snip------- # penguin theme likelihood in percent; -1 = auto penguin=99 -----snip----------- #find | cpio -o > /boot/message Reboot and whenever you want to go back to the original #cp /root/message.bak /boot/message -=terry=- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I assume if you don't want it at all, set penguin=0 ?? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
