Description Narada Sage 2003-05-26 06:25:03 UTC
Hello

When booting the American Army game cd a wonderful silent bootsplash appears 
with a working progress bar.  I wish to enquire about any such implementation 
of progress bar and silent splash in the most current baselayout and if absent 
I'd like to urge a move to incorporate it.  Since the game cd already 
demonstrates the finished product I assume the work has already been done?  
There were certain reports on the forum with silent splash working with some 
kernels and not with others which would imply that it is kernel dependent 
too?  Just some thoughts.

Many thanks

Yes, you need a kernel patch.  Work was done, and I have started initial cleanups
to get it merged, but still among a few other things on my todo (see roadmap on
baselayout mail I sent to lists some time back).

Hello.  Thanks for the information.  I found your email and read the roadmap.  Is the kernel patch you mention available and if so from where can I get it?  Thank you for the excellent work on baselayout.  I look forward to contributing by testing future releases and also to a working silent splash and progress bar implementation.

all kernels for bootsplash support silent, its useless until 
the init scripts support this.

>> its useless until the init scripts support this.

That's exactly my point.  There is no mention of kernels here.  My bug title refers to baselayout (init script) modification.  Is this too distant in the future?
