[vox-tech] Beer tux

[Dave Margolis]

I make a 1 pixel high by 8 pixel wide black graphic in the gimp, and 
then save it as linux_logo.ppm.  I then compile this replacement graphic 
into my kernel using patches at the following site: 
http://www.arnor.net/linuxlogo/download.html

This is a little crude and hasn't been updated since 2.4.18, but it 
still works (as of a recent 2.4.25 build).  Also, if you don't build 
your own kernels, or let Debian handle kernel compilation for you, I'm 
not sure how this can be used.

The only other choice is to turn off the framebuffer console (i.e. 
vga=normal in /etc/lilo.conf).  This generally works OK on many video 
boards/monitors, especially if you spend most of your time in X.
