[syslinux] need to remove kernel load text..
Hello, Is there anyway to remove the bootup kernel text with pxelinux? (blank screen or logo image till X is loaded) I tried using LPP (linux progress patch), But it only seems to work with lilo only. Im trying to creat a kiosk type inviorment I dont want users to see the kernel load.. Any help will be greatly appreciated, thank you..

I got LPP working with a pxelinux booted nfs-root kernel. or rather, the LTSP people did. I tossed out the LTSP stuff and did my own since their choices didn't suit my needs. but the point is, you don't have to use lilo to get LPP to work.

It won't get rid of the BIOS/PXELINUX images, though. -hpa
