Code: Select all

 sudo apt-get install fbi 

then run it as

Code: Select all

fbi -a /usr/share/images/desktop-base/spacefun-grub-widescreen.png 

Will this display the image on boot?
Do I have to put the line 'fbi - linux framebuffer imageviewer' in my config file or anything?

As it's for bare metal coding, without a OS (eg: no linux).
And i sure thats not what you want.

Sure this will put a nice splash screen on bootup load MyBmpImage, ScreenBuffer sync end MyBmpImage: file 'Bg.bmp' align 4 ProgramSize: ScreenBuffer: Thanks for the reply. Where abouts would I put that code, and where would I place the bmp file?

Nobody?

Anybody got any ideas on how to make a splash screen instead of the boot messages?
Thanks
