Re: Re: [ILUG-BOM] [LINK] - Animated LILO boot screen: penguins

Hi, i am trying hard...but not getting it.. what is this parameter that should be put in the lilo.conf file? i dont seem to get the help in the lilo HOWTO also. (maybe i am missing it somewhere) some 1 plz. tell me. linuxers(a)mm.ilug-bom.org.in wrote: hmm..slightly away from the topic...but yet...related to LILO :) is there any way i can change the prompt name?? like say instead of LILO: i want it MYPROMPT: linuxers(a)mm.ilug-bom.org.in wrote: http://www.gamers.org/~quinet/lilo Since mid-2001, most Linux distributions include some patched versions of LILO (the LInux LOader) that support VGA or VESA graphical modes and make it possible to have a nice background image while booting. Starting with SuSE Linux 7.2, the SuSE distribution includes an interesting extension to LILO that allows a programmer to define some callback functions that are triggered when some events occur (key pressed, timeout, ...). It gives a much greater flexibility than the other extensions that are provided by most of the other Linux distributions, including the new graphical modes that have recently been added to the official version of LILO 22.x. While testing the SuSE version of LILO and the helper program mkbootmsg, I was wondering if the timer callbacks together with the function that copies parts of the image to the screen could be used for creating animations. I quickly found out that it was indeed possible to enhance the boot screen with animations. Since my friends liked the results, I decided to share them on this web site. These animated boot screens have been tested with SuSE Linux 7.2 and 7.3. They should also work with other Linux distributions, as long as you install the appropriate version of LILO. This is explained on my help page. . . N.D.

CD Writer Search + Epson Printer
by Kshitij Gupta 11 Feb '02

11 Feb '02

Hello! I am planning to buy an *IDE* CD Writer - that works on Linux. I did some homework - saw the XCDRoast page and the ILUG archives for past queries. Well, making changes to fstab and lilo are OK with me but installing modules is something I haven't done. Could someone suggest a readily available (in Bombay) IDE CD Writer that is *known* to work well under Linux? Please add tips - they'll certainly help :). Another request - has anyone got An Epson Stylus Color 480 Printer working on any distribution / version of linux? Please tell me which one and how. Thanks :) KG _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com

Firewall on a powered down machine
by Philip S Tellis 09 Feb '02

09 Feb '02

This is an interesting article on how to run a really secure firewall. Secure because there are no processes running on the machine, and no disks powered up. http://www.samag.com/documents/s=1824/sam0201d/0201d.htm -- The truth of a thing is the feel of it, not the think of it. -- Stanley Kubrick
