I repost... What about swapping the screens : - the internationalized "welcome" message goes to lilo screen - a Mandrakesoft logo goes into the kernel "framebuffer" picture (the one with the "welcomes"). Thus, you just say "Welcome", yet in many languages, you don't say "to Linux-Mandrake" in li

Andrej, I'm one of those who doesn't like Aurora (hate it actually), but I do see it as having a place. It does put a nice friendly face on the boot routine of Linux. At least it's more informative than a Windows logo with a cycling color bar. If it's unmaintained, perhaps someone should pick up
