debian-boot is the right place for this. I, for one, agree with you. The main problem to me seems to be that when a dialog closes and a new one opens, the process goes: 1. Erase (overwrite with blue background) the old dialog box 2. Erase background 3. Redraw background 4. Draw new dialog Seems to me that steps 2 and 3 can be removed. After step 1, you're left with a blue background, so you should be able to go right to step 4. -- Debian - http://www.debian.org/ Linux 1394 - http://www.linux1394.org/ Subversion - http://subversion.tigris.org/ WatchGuard - http://www.watchguard.com/
