Oh! Ok.. In that case, this is a FAQ :-)

I haven't tried this since testing it on -CURRENT, but, AFAIK, it
should still work as documented. I found a nice rendered BMP of
Beastie and added some text and such with GIMP to customize it for my
installation. Find a "Loading Windows 95" bitmap if it will make your
clients feel better. :-)

I think all of the required kernel options are now included by
default, so you shouldn't have to recompile.
