Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist there was some discussion on d-d about changing the boot messages to show status without having to read everything. well, on many machines this is not neccessary: there already is an area of the screen which can be used for it: when using framebuffer, the first 80 rows are not used for text display, but only for the linux logo. that area can be used to show boot status
Description: Display boot progress using graphical icons This Package modifies the boot progress to show small graphics in the non-scrolling area of the screen (at the top, next to the Linux penguin). . For this to work, it needs kernel-level framebuffer support. upstream author is me, license is gpl, testpackage is at http://people.debian.org/~tali/ i don't want to include this package in woody! some bugs (in other packages) need to be resolved first. (#55143 and #122169) comments? ah, yes: the icons provided by this package are sub-optimal, feel free to create better ones and send them to me ;) -- CU, / Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen, Germany Martin Waitz // [Tali on IRCnet] [tali.home.pages.de] _________ ______________/// - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - /// dies ist eine manuell generierte mail, sie beinhaltet // tippfehler und ist auch ohne grossbuchstaben gueltig. / - Wer bereit ist, grundlegende Freiheiten aufzugeben, um sich kurzfristige Sicherheit zu verschaffen, der hat weder Freiheit oder Sicherheit verdient.
