[gentoo-user] boot new splash Image?

[James]

Hello,

I use the /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz image at boot time, without issues.

However, I'm looking for some variety now. Maybe (3) penguins?
Animation? or a variety of different images at boot time?

Any ideas or archives with lots of choices are most welcome.
For somebody with zero artistic skills, I have to find something
cool.

You can't animate the grub splash image, but you can install an 
animated splashscreen with a progressbar & icons as subsequent parts of 
your system boot.

Once you've got http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_fbsplash working you can 
take any image that you want & add a progressbar
