Ugh. Please, no. I had enough ANSI art when I ran my BBS for many years... since I terminated it a year and a half ago, I would really like to progress beyond ANSI art. Come up with a complete hires framebuffer login with good graphics and people will be more pleased than with some cheezy ansi junk. My $0.02CAN, but I think linux_logo is cool *without* the logos. Good tool, logos suck. And considering you can only do so much with ANSI, let's just spare ourselves the pain of looking at a variety of ugly login screens. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED], OpenPGP key available on www.keyserver.net 1024D/FE6F2AFD 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD - Danen Consulting Services www.danen.net, www.freezer-burn.org - MandrakeSoft, Inc.
