I was thinking the latter, of using a symlink to an image and just leaving /boot/loader.conf alone. Unfortunately, i'm not versed enough to get started on that script. I'll probably beat my head over it this weekend. :^) You wouldn't happen to have any ideas on how I would go about randomly selecting a file in a directory would you? -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Lowell Gilbert [SMTP:lowell@world.std.com] > Sent: Thursday, June 24, 1999 4:24 PM > To: Christopher Michaels > Subject: Re: Cycling bootup splash screens?
