Hi Andrew, Sorry. I wasn't thinking about your implied point. I thought the picture would explain better what I am looking for and I was not trying to offend anyone.
Thanks for your advice. It would be great if booting to an application would do the job. I was hoping that I would not need to adjust Maemo's source code to achieve my objective.

The link you gave was to a Sony device that looks like a competitor of the 770. I think that what you want would be possible within the Maemo framework, however. Changing the bootup graphic, at least for later stages of the boot, should be fairly easy, but you may run into issues if the bootloader also has a graphic display (the bootloader code is closed AFAIK). Having a button menu should be possible by writing a Maemo/Hildon application and having it start instead of the desktop process. I don't know the down-and-dirty specifics of this, someone else will have to help you there, but I do think it is possible. > Woei -- Andrew Barr Now playing: The Police - Message In A Bottle _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
