Hi all,
I am looking for a way to put some form of splash up when a netbsd 1.6.1 =
box boots up. Really what I am trying to do is hide the kernel messages =
when booting. The splash screen can then dissappear when KDE starts.=20
One solution is to comment out all the kernel printouts and then =
re-compile it, but I would rather have a solution where the screen is =
displayed and the print-outs happen in the background.
Any ideas on how to do this is much appreciated.
Thanks
Ian
