Hi there.  I've been quietly testing 8.1 since the first beta.  This is the 
first linux distro I've tried in many years of dabbling that I feel is 
compelling enough to switch to (from Windows.)

I'm having several minor problems and have many questions.  I thought I'd 
start with something simple =):

1) When LILO loads, I want to have a simple prompt (boot:)  This used to be 
possible with LILO but I can't figure-out what to modify let alone how to 
midfy it to get rid of that colour menu.  I figured out how to get rid of the 
text (by editing the message files), but how do I eliminate the colour box 
menu?

2) I run 1024x768x16bpp at boot so I can see as many of the boot-time messages 
on-screen as possible.  Unfortunatly, that lousy blue "welcome" bitmap is in 
the way.  How do I get rid of it?

STIA for the help all.  I'll be asking lots of questions to get things going 
well. :-)
