[openbeos] AW: Re: AW: Re: AW: Re: Haiku Bootscreen

I wrote the same thing a few e-mails before?

 

>I see the bootscreen 3-4 seconds (on a Pentium III M 1,13 GHz and 512MB
RAM). I thought if you don´t see a status >indicator and a problem occurs
you don´t know when it happens. In BeOS you can see what the problem is. (If

boot up takes more time, you don´t know if it´s >freezed.

"you'll only see the boot screen for 3 seconds anyways"

That's if Haiku boots at all...

I thought with BeOS, Zeta, the boot icons would give an indication of where
your system would fault on booting. i.e, if it got stuck on the networking
icon, then your networking driver is messed or unsupported, if it got stuck
on the disk icon, then your file system is corrupted... etc.

It would be "cool" as advertisement for the HAIKU project. You see the boot
screen 3 seconds
and you know it´s from the HAIKU Team ;-) And the brand Haiku is protected!?

I hope so. The Haiku Logo with TM (trademark) or R (registered trademark)
i´m no lawyer but I guess this should be there...

I guess a short message with "press spacebar for safe mode" (or something 
like that) that Stephan A. wrote and maybe a color switching rectangle in
one corner like the one in BeOS would make sense.
