Edit the file modules/common.mak as suggested and look for the lines #CC= gcc CC := $(shell $(TOP)/modules/kernelcompiler.sh $(KERNELVER) $(KERNELSRC)) Simply uncomment the #CC= gcc line and comment the other one out, now everything should work fine.

David Odin has updated the patch to 2.4.13 [1], and I have created Debian-packages [2] with a Debian-like design. They're still preliminary, but work with 2.4.17. If you don't like the design, apply the patch and exchange the linux_logo.h with a new one you can create with fblogo [3] (view README and README.Debian in the patch-packages for further information, there's more work to it...)

What packages do I > need, or how do I configure them? You can use bitmaps with lilo version 1:22.1-1 and up. Simply create a 640x480 bitmap (uncompressed or RLE encoded) with 16 colours, then update your /etc/lilo.conf like so: Change the install and map entries to: install=/boot/boot-bmp.b map=/boot/map-bmp Specify a bitmap: bitmap=/boot/somebitmap.bmp Coordinates and size of where the menu entries go bmp-table = [x],[y],[ncol],[nrow],[xspc] What colours should be used bmp-colors = [fg],[bg],[sh];[h-fg],[h-bg],[h-sh] Where the timer should be placed bmp-timer = [tx],[ty];[t-fg],[t-bg],[t-sh] I've put a small example on http://freakzone.net/gordon/ ...also, apt-get install lilo-doc gives you an example and documentation :) Hth, Gordon -- Gordon Fraser "Unix is simple, but it takes [EMAIL PROTECTED]a genius to understand the http://www.freakzone.netsimplicity." - Dennis Ritchie

Now that you say so, this line is of course nonsense and has nothing to do with the splash screen. :) I just compared my lilo.conf on my notebook and pc and kinda pasted the difference...thanks for telling me, I've also removed it from my hompage and my example splash screens.
