There is a patch (called "Linux Progress Patch") for that at: http://lpp.freelords.org/About.phtml > Can I do this with LILO or GRUB? How? LILO have support for BMP "boot screen" and there is patch for GRUB which adds image to "boot screen". By "boot screen" I mean screen where boot selection can be done. Of course, when the kernel is started screen will depend of the kernels idea how it should look like. So, by combining LILO/GRUB with LPP patch you can get WinXX style and more then that. :-) I hope we will see some screenshoots on the WEB soon. :-) Milan
