I can't comment on how it compares with what's in severn just yet. The bootsplash.org is what SuSE use for their graphical boot-up. I'm guessing at this point that RedHat have committed to serverns way of doing things (at least for the near future.) -- Regards, Adam Allen. adam dynamicinteraction co uk pgp http://search.keyserver.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=adam%40dynamicinteraction.co.uk
