Aurora Boot Screen

Stephanie · 06-28-2001, 09:35 AM

I have mdk 8.0. It seems it has a program called Aurora, which displays a graphical screen when booting up, and displays icons as it boots.

I would like to change that. Does anyone know how to change the display boot screen, and the icons? Or where they are stored?

It's in the Mandrake Control Center, in the boot options I believe that where I found it, and turned it all off. You can also select a different boot choice at the lilo screen (linux-fb I think, can't remember right now, I'm @ work.

), which will allow it to start in text mode. Not sure about changing the icons though

I tried all that, but it does not allow me to select a different wallpaper at boot. You either have to use what it gives you or not at all. I figured if I scould find the file that tells the system where to go for the wallpaper at boot, I should be able to change it.

Any other ideas?

It is actually possible to do that stuff but you need to do a bit of digging around in directories (i cant remember the specific directory) but it is basically just a collection of images which you can change as much as you like. Then again you could always do a search for Aurora to find the directory.
