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. :-) A comment about what happened in New York: the world is broken, and since everything effects everything else in the web of life, we are all culpable. Heal yourself, and you'll heal the world.
