The Lilo boot loader has been modified for a unified look and feel

You can do this by replacing the message = /boot/somefile.pcx line in your /etc/lilo.conf and have your own custom logo boot up your machine. This is the default image we have come up with thus far!

This site offers very little in terms of bandwidth and file uploads. You can expect to see some of our screen shots and scripts available for download from this site itself.

This is how our linux starts up on my machine! :)

the progress bar is built using Linux Progress Patch which uses the frame buffer and the /proc filesystem. Linux boots up on high-res graphics much better than any Microsoft Windows or Macintosh desktop system. You have to see it to believe it!

The LPP theme for the above graphic is available for download on the ftp location specified above. Have fun!
