You will be able to supply your own picture if you like. I also expect that some people will create various kinds of artwork (in the ports collection or elsewhere), so there will be quite a few "themes" to choose frome. And if you still don't like it, a switch in loader.conf will bring the old text menu back. Well, at least that's the plan. :-) Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
