Unfortunately you're competing against the likes of this.

charlieg,
Hey, that one does look pretty cool. Mine is a gentoo theme and works with out patching lilo, which for some can be an adventure.
Mine works with any lilo that is already in portage. Just emerge gentoo-lilo-splash then run the command that is echo'ed at the end. So the one that you showed is nice but mine is simple and simple to install.
Thank you for the comment.

|
|
I have submitted this ebuild under bug 42210.
If you want to try this out, there is a tar with install.txt at:
http://www.penzilla.net/gentoo/gentoo-lilo-splash
If you try this and like, please post your 'thank you's' here. I would really like to hear back on this. Everyone that I have given it to has liked it. If you have a problem with it, EMAIL ME, ethanboyle@cableone.net .
P.S.
The install.txt instructions are missing that /etc/lilo.conf needs to have vga set to vga=794. Anthing higher will not work. Anything less MAY not work. Plus if you want the same screen as your frame buffer I will help/walk you through those steps. It's not toooo hard.
Thank you,
AssociateX
