Re: [newbie] that penguin at the login prompt
There is another Penguin graphic in the files somewhere. A guy at my LUG rattled off the command for me to type in and we got it to appear on my PC. Now I can't remember what it was, but it had Tux sitting beside the Linux logo where the i is in red and the rest is in blue I think. It looked like the logo from linux.org. Anybody know the name of the file so that he could switch them. Its a better picture.

Thanks. I was wondering how to get rid of the bird, too! Art Andy Goth wrote: just wondering, how do i get rid of that ansi penguin at the login prompt? it really doesn't appeal to me. Edit issue.rc (or is it rc.issue?) in your /etc/rc directory to not generate it. Hmm. It might not be this way with Mandrake (I know this from Red Hat 5.0). In any case, you'll see whatever is in /etc/issue before the login prompt.

Re: [newbie] that penguin at the login prompt
thanks for your input. you've just demonstrated your awesome powers as a linux guru by belittling myself for not knowing how to remove a simple ansi screen. don't you feel better now? perhaps it doesn't matter to you because you already know how to do it but i for one do not and would appreciate any help regarding the matter. if it's a setting that can be changed within linux then this NEWBIE list would probably be the place to ask don't you think? if you really don't feel like helping then go ahead and delete the email. i didn't force you to answer the question. and by the way, if you're so brilliant and able to disregard this as a problem then maybe you don't belong in the NEWBIE list at all.
