On the opensuse-factory list, Steffen explained the process for disabling or modifying the screen. The /boot/message file in an archive with the graphics etc. # mkdir foo - creates a working directory # cd foo # cpio -i </boot/message - extract the files from the message archive. Have a look at the directory, you should see about 18 files. # edit something - the gfxboot.cfg file contains the parameter that decides how often the screen is shown. # find | cpio -o >/boot/message - find all files in the working directory and create a new /boot/message archive from them. I haven't tried to change the graphics, but panim.jpg contains the various penguin figues for animation, pback.jpg is the background etc. Should be straightforward (if you have any drawing skill!)
