Mike Smith:

|Some people may remember the 'splashkit' I did for 2.2 systems early
|last year. After not a little tinkering, I've adapted this for 3.0.
I remember trying this last May. Pretty cool.

Would be happy to give it a whirl. (Hopefully the 971208 SNAP is sufficient.)
I also would second supporting the 320x400x8 color cycling BMPs that there
are tons of pre-built for MSW95 (in a future version perhaps). Color
cycling's good for letting newbie users know the machine's not locked up.
I'm also interested in seeing if a few things I found in the 2.2 version
were/will be addressed. E.g.:
- Splash should auto-dismiss itself when booting gets to the syscons
login prompt (i.e. not running xdm)
- If I started X with the splash on, X works OK, but bringing down X
yields a corrupted screen (guess it doesn't kick-in a redraw when
switching out of syscons mode)
