There we go :) The original poster was talking about the type of splash screen you see in SuSE or RH, not FreeBSD's native version. Something that lets you display a nice screen, with bootup information scrolling in middle of it, along with maybe a progress bar. As far as I can tell, FreeBSD doesn't have support for this yet. Somebody would have to port it over or write it in. Right now the FBSD screensaver just covers the entire startup output, and isn't animated in any way. -- Kris Moore PC-BSD Software -------------------------------------------------------- ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ /\ _`\ /\ _`\ /\ _`\ /\ _`\ /\ _`\ \ \ \L\ \ \ \/\_\ \ \ \L\ \\ \,\L\_\ \ \/\ \ \ \ ,__/\ \ \/_/_ _______\ \ _ <'\/_\__ \\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \/ \ \ \L\ \/\______\\ \ \L\ \ /\ \L\ \ \ \_\ \ \ \_\ \ \____/\/______/ \ \____/ \ `\____\ \____/ \/_/ \/___/ \/___/ \/_____/\/___/ http://www.pcbsd.com 1-877-PCBSD01 -------------------------------------------------------- Renato Flórido wrote: > Andrei Kolu escreveu: >> On Thursday 24 August 2006 4:50 pm, Kris Moore - PC-BSD Software wrote: >> >>> This is something a little beyond that.
