|
|
I'm using 2.6 and would like to use bootsplash, possibly with the initrd(and progressbar patch) that contains progress indication from the liveCD, is this possible?
i havent seen any bootsplash patches for 2.6 as of yet. |

Neither have I
It's certain bootsplash.org will have a patch by the time 2.6 is final (not long?) _________________ Gentoo/AMD64, shell-tools, net-mail, vim, recruiters

well, the upside is that maybe once bootsplash is available for 2.6, the gentoo folks will have integrated the progress bar into the base rc scripts. |

But the downside is that we still don't have bootsplash on 2.6. _________________ ~Sarumont

Or you could look into SystemServices as a complete replacement of the init scripts, that would give you a bootsplash as well.. there are several ways to skin a cat. |

Ok, you just proved that there's more than one cat to skin. But the matter of debate is how to skin it. |

Okay I feel sorry for the cat now - so I might as well tell you all that I'm looking for C coders to help me port bootsplash to 2.6 as part of love-sources.
This won't be the replacement for bootsplash, but the bootsplash guys won't port their patch untill the fb API stops changing (it seems to have settled down now btw.) - and since it's a highly requested feature I figured we might as well give it a shot. |

Is SystemServices actually usable yet or is it another piece of vaporware?
I'd like to try it if it's not. _________________ what up |

Seth still holds his cards close to his body.
Anyways, elpp has been released - you can now have a nice boot splash on 2.6. |
