But we are talking about the boot splash, not the desktop here I thought. My point is that a resolution of 800x600 and 16 colors should be good enough for a Debian splash screen, if that saves us from having to configure vga= in the kernel command line.

I was just talking about that "outputs some non-bootsplashed stuff sometimes", which might be annoying, but is no show-stopper IMHO. cheers, Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
