I was only successful with Core 1 using a 2.4 kernel, and for a short period of time, at that. I remember having trouble getting the userspace tools to work correctly and for some reason the theme's paths were not being seen some times (I actually had a /usr/share/bootsplash/default theme which was actually symlink to several other themes, and a script executed in init 6 or 0, would change that to a different directory [other than default, of course]). As you point out, fbsplash or bootsplash would be lighter than a whole X session, and they also allow the use of pixmaps, animations and whatnot to be used directly on VC1. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDhgHcXM+XOp70dwoRAloWAJ904c5EHSklPNSqCQF6oRvAUc6GDwCeLuxh gJfhfGhybODShK/mHxkfTok= =4+1S -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Fedora-desktop-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-desktop-list
