This was written in pre-udev days, when either static dev or devfs-mounted-before-init was used, so tty2 was available from the get go. In udevlandia, that seems not to be the case, so that's why tty2 is missing. I used tty2 back then because I wanted the programs' output to be available if needed but didn't want them to mess with the "aesthetics" of the theme. This theme is more of a novelty/proof-of-concept than an actual theme, so if people are having trouble with it, I don't mind if it goes away. -- Hisham _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
