Hi there, I finally decided to have the splash screen on startup. worked fine and i even added vesa to the kernel for the 640x400 to be possible. also worked fine. (liked the starwars splash screens). anyway, i wanted to 'randomly change splash screen' so i thought it should be relatively easy. all i need to do is write a script that on shutdown copies a randomly selected bitmap(or pcx) file and copy to boot/splash.bmp . it's so simple i'm sure some have you have already done such a thing. unfortunately i have absolutely no knowledge of scripting so i decided to write this so you could assist me or just send me the ready script if you have it. Thanks a bunch, Alon P.S. - i am not subscribed to questions so please remember to reply to my e-mail address as well. P.S.S - as i was going through the example pictures to choose the splash screen from, i noticed that many of them have the text freebsd 3.1 . obviouslyseriously outdated. someone with gimp should add 3.3.
