Wow, that's a very simple patch. If this stuff actually works, done completely from a module point of view, then there is no need to use bootsplash at all (complex and ugly code). I see that the license does say "GPL" I wonder where does Xandros has the code for that in their site :-) The essence of the GPL license, got it love it... In any case documentation for how to actually use it would be better, then doing a kernel-patch-* for Debian couldn't be that hard. Now let's see how to get this to work on 2.6.x... -- ----)(----- Luis M System Administrator/Web Developer LatinoMixed.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] Para poder seguir tengo que empezar todo de nuevo. -- LeÃn Gieco.
