Updated: Where Does The Red Hat 7.3 Boot Logo Come From?

[Adam Ellis <AdamE AccelGrp com>]

Just an update on my question...I was in the rc.sysinit file and found that
if I comment out sections that manipulate the system font at startup, the
Red Hat Linux logo will stay up at the top of the screen throughout the boot
process.  This still leaves the question unanswered: where it this image
file located?

On distros with this sort of graphical boot process (Caldera, DemoLinux,
Lindows, etc.) are they simply making this graphic take a larger chuck of
the screen or is there some other program that I am missing like the Linux
Progress Patch?

Many thanks,
Adam

Hello list,

I have google-ed this question many times over with no luck so I am breaking
down and asking the list.  In Red Hat 7.3 if you add the kernel parameter
'vga=788' to your grub menu.lst it displays a nifty Red Hat Linux logo
across the top of the screen after the kernel is loaded and disappears after
a few seconds.  I believe I saw this same thing when I booted off of install
disk 1.  How is this done?  Is it related to /usr/src/linux/linux_logo.h?
I'd love to be able to have this graphic stay up longer, perhaps cover a
larger portion of the screen, and put the image of my choice there.
Ultimately I am looking to create a boot screen for Red Hat Linux kinda like
what you see in Lindows (Corel).  Anybody know?

Thanks in advance!
AE
