Hello any & all, O.K. I feel I must preface this with an acknowledgment that I *know* this is a silly project *because* given the *incredibly* long uptimes that FreeBSD is known for. >>But<< for those *few* times when FreeBSDers see a boot screen, shouldn't it look really nice? Shouldn't also be able to reflect the Administrators tastes and personality? Well, this is the premise for my attempting this project. But before I start, I want to submit an RFC. So consider this an Request for comments. This is an attempt to create a Graphical boot screen that initially has the following layout: (a fixed width font required to view the layout correctly) -------------------------------------------------------- | some | | sort | | of | | graphic goes in this area | |-------------------------------------------------------- | boot | | | | messages | | | | seen | | | | here | | bla... | | bla... | | bla... | --------------------------------------------------------- -Chris //////////////////////////////////////////////////// If only Western Electric had found a way to offer binary licenses for the UNIX system back in 1974, the UNIX system would be running on all PC's today rather than DOS/Windows. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////Received on Wed Apr 27 2005 - 04:09:21 UTC
