hi, |

in addition to the bootsplash done by Sebastian Faubel, how |
| 4 |
about Gentoo adds the SuSE gfxboot patches to its GRUB/LILO/syslinux? |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
this lets you display a graphical menu with an interface of your own |
| 7 |
devising instead of the standard GRUB/LILO boot menu. |

|

i'm not talking about the static image support, but full-on user |
| 10 |
interface, with customizable keybindings. if you have the inclination, |
| 11 |
you can code it up to do whatever behaviour you want it to. |

i can assist a real artist in tweaking the image and configuration |
| 22 |
needed for this to work. maybe we could use Sebastian's image as a |
| 23 |
starting point? |
