Is there any way to display a boot screen like XP's instead of the lines of words displayed until the desktop is loaded.

Thanks in advance, :)

Why don't you want to see the text? That XPee picture tells you absolutly nothing, those lines of text are very informative.

To a non technical user a boot screen looks much neater and user-friendly and will help attract more users and dent Microsoft monopoly a bit.

I was about to ask the same question myself.

I prefer to see the lines of text myself, but if I install it for someone else to 'rebirth' archaic hardware, a pretty boot screen would give it a more professional look to the non-techie, even better if it could have some kind of count (countdown from 10 or percentage loading, only roughly accurate so they know it is loading OK)
