The two Arch logos in the top left that you can see at around 20 seconds into that video won't show up unless you compile the kernel with CONFIG_LOGO and friends https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/36444 and it might depend on your setup (graphics card + driver, bootloader etc.): https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/24654

What else do you want?

It's pretty trivial to do - but depending on your hardware it can take quite a long time to recompile the kernel.

According to a previous post of yours you are using a netbook is this still the case?:

Hello all just installed Arch Linux with Xfce4 on my eee pc 900 using the Evo/lution installer I tried the regular method and failed miserably each time

I would never try compiling a kernel on a eeepc - it would take ages (ok a day maybe).

More importantly, if you are still using EvoLution these are the wrong forums to ask, and quite frankly, if you couldn't follow the beginner's guide to install arch, then you definitely shouldn't try to configure and compile a kernel.

Ya guess your right it is pretty trivial for the amount of time it would take ME to recompile the kernal just for a couple logos that last a second and no one else would be likely to see. Thanks for the blunt reply I love how serious you guys take Arch lol
