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.
