Re: [MiNT] Kabooter - Splash screen for Falcons!

Hello,

  Allow me to contribute with another release for MiNT (well it can be
  used under PlainTOS too, but I wrote it with MiNT in mind):

  Kabooter!

  This  program  will  load  a  640x480x256c pic and replace all those
  boring  boot  messages you get while booting mint. Press ESC and you
  can get back to watching the console output.

  Binaries, source and instructions here:

  Tested on various Falcons in 030 and 060 mode.


  Hope you like it! It was 1 day of happy hacking around :)

I do like it!

Some messages slip through, if you run xaaes through init - like on the usual EasyMiNT setup. Therefore i did a 'cp kabotend.prg to /usr/bin/kabooter-end' and set its executable flags. Then i added "kabooter-end" to the bottom of /etc/rc.d/rc.nfs, right before the "exit 0" line.


I know this is not nice, but at least now only the xaaes.km messages are left visible. If there is a clean way to make sure the Kabouter is killed right before xaaes starts,
i'd appreciate a hint.
