Hi,

I was wondering how I can get this Gentoo - logo text show up when booting?

I want to set it on my boot, because it is so pretty

(not to mention Nicola on background

~~~ )

Hi,

you have to do three necessary things

1.) read the wiki howto http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_fbsplash

2.) make sure, that your kernel is fbsplahs patched - gentoo-dev-sources are already patched and ready to use... development-sources have to be patched

3.) you have to emerge splashutils

If it's the logo text you're after (as opposed to the booylicious lady in her pants) then you need to emerge linux-logo or welcome2l.
