Introduction
The Bootsplash Progress Bar Patch is an unofficial package for the
Gentoo distribution. The patch adds support for a progress bar, text
and animations to the bootsplash image shown during startup/shutdown.
For this to work I had to patch several files out of the baselayout
package.
The goal was to have a somewhat smooth progress bar with as little changes
to the files as possible. The files which were finally affected are:
- /etc/conf.d/bootsplash.conf
- /etc/init.d/halt.sh
- /sbin/functions.sh
- /sbin/runscript.sh
- /sbin/rc
The latest version is 0.5.2 released on Wednesday, 13th of Aug 2003.
