The background of TTY1 on the LiveCD is ugly. Indeed, we don't even need a background: the good old black console is just great. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
boot with 'nofb' ... maybe thats not the exact parameter ... look at the help when you first boot the cd for the exact cmd
"nofb" Disables the console framebuffer :-( I want a framebuffer, I don't want the background! But I think you're right, there MUST be an option to disable the background.. If no, please add one.
perhaps i'm wrong on this one and the only choice is framebuffer w/background or no framebuffer ... if drobs wants, he can re-open this ...
well, it really is annoying for me, and i couldn't disable it without disabling fb too. reopen?
btw, the help given by F2, F3... at the boot prompt is really inconsistent... maybe you should fix it up a bit! or maybe i should become a Gentoo developer?? (i realy like correcting typos, indeed!)
looks like something that should be put in autoconfig in livecd-tools. chris - wanna bite? ;)
How would adding this to autoconfig do anything? The bootsplash is loaded *way* before any of our scripts are run. Honestly, it can be disabled on the command line. gentoo splash=0 We could add this to the F2 menu, but I think that it isn't very beneficial for us to add possible kernel command line options, as we would start down a slippery slope of adding more and more non-Gentoo options. I think we should list *our* options only and leave it at that. This has been resolved (upstream, no less) since it was originally added to the LiveCD.
Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux". I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers, this is the only reasonable way to do this.
