    Seems to me the best place to do the graphical thing is at the distro.
    Mandrake has been messing with GUI bootscreens for a few versions, now, and
    while I haven't been excited by the results I think it's the right place. My
    only reason for not liking Mandrake's screens is that I *like* plain text.
    The distros will want to tailor the screens themselves, anyway, so let em
    do the code, too.
