Re: Boot Loader
I did a search on google for 'animate lilo menu' and it came back with alot
of results.
This site has some interesting ideas for animating lilo including downloads
and some screenshots of what lilo could look like:
http://www.gamers.org/~quinet/lilo/index.html
I haven't tried this myself yet but certainly will now. Does anyone know of
any other animated lilo menu's on the web I could get that are jazzier than
the ones at the Url above.
