>It can be customised by changing the file
linux_logo.h in include/linux
directory. It is a C header file, and pretty hard to
change by hand, however there is a plugin available for
Gimp from <A

that will create one for you. All you need is a picture
80 pixels in height and width, with less than 224
colours. You can either let Gimp create the three
varieties (2, 16, 224 colours), or create them yourself
and use them with the plug-in. It will ask you where
you want to store the file, and if you are game you can
put it into
($SRCDIR)/include/linux/linux_logo.h. Once
that is finished all you need to do is recompile the
kernel as usual, reboot, and if framebuffer is working,
you will see your new logo upon bootup.</P
