In that case, this is a FAQ :-) http://www.freebsd.org/doc/faq/x.html#INSTALL_SPLASH I haven't tried this since testing it on -CURRENT, but, AFAIK, it should still work as documented. I found a nice rendered BMP of Beastie and added some text and such with GIMP to customize it for my installation. Find a "Loading Windows 95" bitmap if it will make your clients feel better. :-) I think all of the required kernel options are now included by default, so you shouldn't have to recompile. - Ryan -- Ryan Thompson Network Administrator, Accounts SaskNow Technologies - http://www.sasknow.com #106-380 3120 8th St E - Saskatoon, SK - S7H 0W2 Tel: 306-664-3600 Fax: 306-664-1161 Saskatoon Toll-Free: 877-727-5669 (877-SASKNOW) North America To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
