Linux Progress Patch
The Linux Progress Patch is a kernel patch which displays a full-screen logo with a progress bar and some informational text while booting. It hides the normal startup messages printed by the kernel, and is meant for people that don't care about complicated and possibly confusing boot messages.

Hi, I suggest using the bootlogo patch
done by SuSE instead. The lpp stuff hasn't been
updated for a long time.

Help with this project.
Hello. I'm a linux user. I wanna know where I can get some documentation about how to install this project in a pc. Thanks.
LPP on 2.4.27
Is there a way to apply this patch to 2.4.27? The patch doesn't apply cleanly on it.
Re: Problem with lpp
Hmm. I haven't looked at lpp for a long time.
Maybe there's some bug in the image handling. You
may try http://www.bootsplash.org stuff. It is by
far more variable than lpp.
Greetings...
Problem with lpp
Hi, I've a problem with lpp with kernel 2.4.20 on a PC with
via C3 processor anf LCD display.
I use grub and all the linux system is internal the initrd (run
on RAM).
In the grub boot menu I use:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz rw root=/dev/ram0 console=/dev/tty2
CONSOLE=/dev/tty2
initrd=/boot/initrd.gz ramdisk_size=23167
When the system boot, the image boot screen appear for
a moment then the system hang with a black screen and
caps lock and scroll lock blinking.
I modify some constant of lpp patch because I must use
800x600 images and the theme that I download has a file
(definitions-800x600) with needed parameters.
Someone could help me?
Thank you.
Bye, Nicola
