Greetings,
Could someone show me an example of what a boot splash entry looks like 
in a lilo.conf file?
I'm trying to add a suse boot splash screen to my elx system, I created 
a splash directory in /usr/share and added a image/image file to the 
directory.

I then did mkinitrd and lilo.
I restarted and did not get my boot splash screen.  I looked in the 
lilo.conf file and did not see an entry for a splash screen.

This is what my lilo.conf looks like:
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=200
message=/boot/message
lba32
default=ELX

image=/bootvmlinuz-2.4.17-3elx
.        label=ELX
.        initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.17-3elx.img
.        read-only
.        root=/dev/hda5
.        append="hdc=ide-scsi"

Is the initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.17-3elx.img my boot screen img?
Why are the periods there, is that how linux REM's lines?
Why would Linux or lilo disable something I installed immediately after 
I installed it?

Thanks,
