The welcome message which appears on Fedora just before starting udev can be changed. The standard message is something like "Welcome to Fedora", this can be changed to whatever you like, you will have to make changes to /etc/rc.sysinit, find the following section in that file :
# Print a text banner. echo -en $"\t\tWelcome to " read -r redhat_release < /etc/redhat-release if [[ "$redhat_release" =~ "Red Hat" ]]; then [ "$BOOTUP" = "color" ] && echo -en "\\033[0;31m" echo -en "Red Hat" [ "$BOOTUP" = "color" ] && echo -en "\\033[0;39m" PRODUCT=`sed "s/Red Hat \(.*\) release.*/\1/" /etc/redhat-release` echo " $PRODUCT" elif [[ "$redhat_release" =~ "Fedora" ]]; then [ "$BOOTUP" = "color" ] && echo -en "\\033[0;34m" echo -en "Fedora" [ "$BOOTUP" = "color" ] && echo -en "\\033[0;39m" PRODUCT=`sed "s/Fedora \(.*\) \?release.*/\1/" /etc/redhat-release` echo " $PRODUCT" else PRODUCT=`sed "s/ release.*//g" /etc/redhat-release` echo "$PRODUCT" fi if [ "$PROMPT" != "no" ]; then echo -en $"\t\tPress 'I' to enter interactive startup." echo fi now comment out the whole section and add an echo statement just below it to print your own message, something like this : #printing my own message echo -en $"\n" [ "$BOOTUP" = "color" ] && echo -en "\\033[0;34m" echo -en $"Welcome to Satish's Linux Box" [ "$BOOTUP" = "color" ] && echo -en "\\033[0;39m" check out how the change looks here : http://satish.playdrupal.com/?q=node/84 (thats a screenshot while my system was booting on qemu) Thanks Satish -- http://satish.playdrupal.com _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email ilugc-requ...@ae.iitm.ac.in with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
