It should be a lot easier than I thought yesterday. We already have the variants "vga" and "serial" when building images and different syslinux.cfg files. So the vga variant for syslinux.cfg/isoliunx.cfg can be modified to start a graphical bootmenu, while the serial ones can stay as-is, or updated to a text based menu. The drawback will be the addition of unnecessesary jpg and vesamenu.c32 (sums up to 200kb) for the serial variants. >>> If no troubles will be noticed - IMHO 1-2 seconds splash screen delay >>> isn't a showstopper. >> I think about 3-5sec so the user has some time to press any key. >> We'll win a second or two, if we add the kernel option "quiet" - I did >> for 4.0, but forgot for 5.0 :( >> >> >> kp >> > 3-5 seconds - I'm not sure that it's actually needed, at least - on > default syslinux image (CD may have bigger delay).
