extending our Arch support

mordantly · 2002-11-16 02:38:41

i have recently discovered one can change their BIOS boot logo (the energy star or manufacturer graphic during POST) whit one of ur choice. now to do this, u need to have an award flash BIOS. So to the point: I plan on making some Arch logos to use as an alternate to further show our support fur this great distrobution. Are any of u fellow Archers interested?? if so, i will put a good write up and the tools needed along whit the choices of graphics up fur the taking. and fur the record, i have NOT done mine yet. but will tonight so i can than more accurately tell that it is safe. depending on the response, i can seek out and assemble a customized BIOS file whit the requested logo so all ull need to do is flash it in if ur unsure or dont want to take it on.

i've got the asus a7v333, it's pretty simple to switch the images!

please make the image simple... "more is less"

greetings,

im sorry to keep everyone waiting yet again but i have still neglected to get down and dirty on the project. i know im lazy but what can i say?? i have been finding images to use as the logo and other things and still plan on making my own guide to follow along whit sorting out the utils needed. a friend just bought a digital camera so i can swap my logo and post a real graphic showing how sexy itll be.

this time im pleased to report im in the process of makin a quick guide and bundle of the utils needed to change the boot logo. all i need now is to borrow a digital camera to take some mug shots of my 'victims'.

'Good code comes to those who wait'.
Soon enough, I'll ask about where and how, but maybe you will surprise me with answers before I ask the questions, eh?
