5.0 boot beastie animation?

2003-12-03 Thread Olev
Just discovered a nice added leetness feature that makes the boot 
beastie be drawn in full color (loader_color=YES in loader.conf) ... 
ok seems leet ... but wouldn't it be even more leet when it would be 
drawn with the fork moving? One second with the fork 1 char space to 
left and then after a second char space to the original place where it 
is today (just 2 frames, and then redraw the beastie with one of them 
every second).
We all boot our machines as seldom as possible, but let's make that 
booting FUN.

Just do not make it the default or people installing on serial consoles
will hate you more than you imagine...

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.

Ofcourse, just like you need to set loader_color=YES in loader.conf 
for colors, off by default.
