[Howto] Animatet lilo bootsplash

[smilerclan]

Sorry iv managed to do this now, it was saving the lilo.config file to the root of the backtrack install instead of the boot partition just needed to:

mount /dev/hda2 /boot
(hda2 being my boot partition others may differ)

first then I could open and save the correct lilo.conf file and after reboot it all good.


P.S. sweet animation much better than expected great work _un|x_ recommend doing this as its much more pleasing to the eye than the dated lilo red

Great work, don't think I can ever use that red monster again.

Many Thanks for this, looks way better then the LILO Red screen.

Also looks really good on my Dell Mini.

[Relentless]

umount /mnt/"yourBootDevice(number)"
mount /dev/hda(DeviceNumber) /boot
###check if boot is propperly mounted and vmlinuz is inserted or present
ls -la /boot
lilo -v

I used this method on BT3 Final on a single install and it worked fine without the modification above; however, I just wanted to point out that it also works on BT2 Final, using the code above for a dual boot with XP and BT2 (Linux).
