Subject: [gentoo-dev] fyi: Lilo fun
Date: Wed, 20 Feb 2002 01:06:37 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3C733CEC.1DDCF220@gentoo.org> (raw)

A few people have asked me to post this information so others could find it.

A little while ago, I assimilated SuSe's animated boot logo patches for lilo
into an ebuild.  If you want to use this neat little thing, then:
"emerge lilo-21.7.5-r1".

The thing is, that its one upped by a newer version of lilo in the portage
tree, so you don't get it by default.  Instead you'll have to explicitly
install it yourself.  I did try to port the patches forward to the latest
version, lilo-22.1, but wasn't successful :-(  The C code was fairly easy
to port, but I couldn't manage to get through the assembly code.
