Drakboot does not handled bootsplash yet because it was included a bit late in the development process. You can also install bootsplash-themes from contrib to have another them, or simply create your own one. -- Warly

Another reason to not use SuSE ;) At least the last version of SuSE I used (7.1 with a 7.2-era kernel), it worked much like Mandrake's new boot screen - text in a window. Only SuSE didn't format the output nicely like MDK does, nor did it have a nice progress bar. -Tim -- Timothy R.

But when I boot a 8.2 machine, I see some graphics, ie. the boot messages are in a nice "window". That's very good. > We have got it with Redmonlinux, SuSE, Demolinux... but not with > Mandrake 8.2 !!! Thanks god!

Re: [Cooker] setup 8.2 boot screen
Install linux_logo off the third (contributions) cd. Once this is installed the virtual terminal penguin will come back (yippie!). I think it's a little sad that it's not by defulat any more but that's the way things go. 2,000,000,000 Web Pages--you only need 1. Save time with My Lycos. http://my.lycos.com
Re: [Cooker] setup 8.2 boot screen
Yes, I'm agrre with this post. Why don't you put aurora or an other boot screen ? I think, I will be important to have it on a linux-station ! We have got it with Redmonlinux, SuSE, Demolinux... but not with Mandrake 8.2 !!!
