If they don't want to make, then they DONT WANT US to use their product. They DO HAVE RIGHT to do so, and please respect their rights! PS. Of course it's nonsense what they do, but again it's their right to do stupid things I do share this point of view, but sadly, an open system like the Web has been polluted and made unusable (or at least has the tendency to be this way) for those who cannot access this propretary product / format. Don't get me wrong, I've played a bit with Flash on FreeBSD, found it useless and am living happily now without it, without getting bothered to install strange Plugins or Extensions all day long. The day Flash will be an open standard and will be integrated into browsers (such as graphic formats are, or even other media), then I'll think about it again, for sure. But as long as something that unimportant hooks so deeply into the system that it's hard work to create workarounds to use it (swfdecoder, linux-flash, gnash etc.), it simply isn't worth thinking about. Or could you imagine that a company would release some software that makes it possible to view PNG images within a webpage, but your OS isn't intended to have support for this, because it would require the modification of the OS kernel? :-) -- Die Rechtschreibreform ist völlig in Ordnung, wenn man weder lesen noch schreiben kann.

Re: Changing default colors of syscons / kernel messages

It isn't the answer to your question, but: 1. Try do use a subject that is in relationship to your question. 2. Try to wrap your lines at approx. column 70, this makes correct quoting easier. I was free to correct them both. :-) Now regarding your question: It is possible to change the color attributes for the kernel messages which FreeBSD usually displays white on black, and OpenBSD grey on blue. As far as I remember - I tried it once -, there are makeoptions in the kernel configuration file to be set. See the handbook section about how to build a custom kernel for the correct procedures. The correct settings are mentioned in /usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES, lines 1339 cont. (1343 cont): # The following options will let you change the default colors of syscons. options SC_NORM_ATTR=(FG_GREEN|BG_BLACK) options SC_NORM_REV_ATTR=(FG_YELLOW|BG_GREEN) options SC_KERNEL_CONS_ATTR=(FG_RED|BG_BLACK) options SC_KERNEL_CONS_REV_ATTR=(FG_BLACK|BG_RED) But I'm not sure you can change the settings for the boot manager itself in an easy way. Maybe a modification of the boot loader's source code makes it possible... yours Pt! Schon vom neuen WEB.DE MultiMessenger gehört?
