    OS Boot Screen

    Hey,
    I was wondering if there is a way to change the OS boot screen from the blue loading bar at the bottom to something more fancy.

    For example if you take a look at Oracle Enterprise Linux 6 they have a loading screen that makes an "O" on start up.

    Note: I am not talking about GRUB, I already know how to change the grub boot screen.

    If so can someone provide the steps needed to modify the OS loading screen.

    Thanks

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    It depends upon the video driver. Example, if SL is using the nouveau driver for nVidia hardware, you get that rotating O. If you uninstall nouveau in favor of the proprietary nVidia driver, it switches to the blue-into-white bar. I haven't bothered to futz with that, so this is as much as I can tell you. Why not sign up on the SL message list and ask there? You'll probably get detailed instructions how to do that in a day or so.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
