I actually found that website and gave it a read-over before I posted my query here. I was actually hoping that there were other developments not listed there, specifically for freedos. During my searching around, I discovered that you can boot freedos over pxe, which is very cool, but nothing about showing a logo on boot. I guess the necessary technique would be such a horrible hack that nobody has created it. Too bad. I use dosemu/freedos to run several single-purpose programs on various desktops and it would be nice to show the users a logo, or something prettier than a black screen with white letters, during the second or so that it takes freedos to boot in the window. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com DRY CLEANER BUSINESS FOR SALE ~ http://www.canadadrycleanerforsale.com
