You can toggle between that graphic and normal text with a key sequence (to be settled upon). If there is to be animation of sorts, it will be VERY simple (like the color cycling MS uses, or a status bar). This can be added without much more overhead than the graphics image (gif might even be overkill here). All other functionality is there in syscons. It funny though how feelings about this differs though, but if we have it you can use it, or you can let it be, allright ?? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Soren Schmidt (sos@FreeBSD.org) FreeBSD Core Team So much code to hack -- so little time.
