Yup. I'm still not happy with the switching model. But I've finally given in and decided that the splash has to be in a "magic" format, so there will be an "installsplash" command that splats a magic number and some other stuff on a splash image and installs it. *sigh* Now I can get back to making it switch properly. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\
