I've been chatting with Hanspeter Roth (hampi at rootshell dot be) about his dislike of the daemon image in the 5.X boot loader menu and he was satisfied with a patch like the one below that disables just the daemon image with minimal changes to the boot loader scripts: : Date: Fri, 20 Aug 2004 17:12:19 +0200 : From: Hanspeter Roth <hampi@rootshell.be> : Subject: Re: Beastie by default : : > %%% : > Index: beastie.4th : > =================================================================== : > RCS file: /home/ncvs/src/sys/boot/forth/beastie.4th,v : > retrieving revision 1.8 : > diff -u -r1.8 beastie.4th : > --- beastie.4th 9 Jan 2004 19:20:47 -0000 1.8 : > +++ beastie.4th 20 Aug 2004 14:24:59 -0000 : > @@ -141,7 +141,7 @@ : > 8 menuY ! : > 5 menuX ! : > clear : > - 46 4 print-beastie : > +\ 46 4 print-beastie : > 42 20 2 2 box : > 13 6 at-xy ."

I very much dislike the fact that our logo, which is an established mark of the FreeBSD operating system for so many years, brings up bad feelings to some users, but I also think I can understand that this is something that quickly becomes a religious war (sic) and nobody is going to accept the fact that they might be seeing too much in a logo that is otherwise unrelated to the religious belief or unbelief ot the FreeBSD developers as a team or as individuals. What do you all think is the best way to document this, in an attempt to stop all this bitching about our logo that periodically comes up at the lists?
