How to get a graphical Lilo through Corel Download corel-setup-utilities.1.0.tgz from the Corel homepage, unpack, compile. The interesting thing is utilities/lilo/ Whereas lilo itself is uninteresting, you'll need gfxdrv8.b, cboot.b (which is made from first.b and csecond.b) and lilosplash. copy cboot.b to /boot/boot.b insert "message=/boot/lilo.splash" into the top section of /etc/lilo.conf Find a 8bit BMP to use as splashscreen. Preferably 320x200, since 640x480 will probably be too big. XV can make one of those out of anything resembling a picture. Process the BMP with lilosplash. Parameters are: -a Animation. One of bar, spot, spoty, spotw, w95, palbar or none -o Outfile -f Font. One of 6l (Small) 8l (Large) or 8b (Large, All Caps) -V Verbose -m map writing? -M open splash.map -P Add CGA Palette So this goes like this: ./lilosplash -a palbar -o lilo.splash -f 8b -P The resulting lilo.splash must not be bigger than 64KByte, so you might run into some problems with 640x480. Copy the resulting lilo.splash to /boot Run lilo. You don't have to use the lilo provided by the caldera package; you may use any lilo newer than 2.0. Enjoy the graphical bootscreen in wrong colors. You'll have to edit the palette of the image to get better results. The Parameter "palbar" for animation will help. Using the parameter "-P" will also help.
