BTW, does anybody know if I can get the logo without compiling the framebuffer and the fbcon drivers into the kernel? How? I tried for days, just could'nt get it. Finally settled with bloating my kernel by a few KBs. (Sorry boss... the penguin's kinda cool ;))
If you are going to use it, isnt it better off in the kernel? It will be fractionally faster than loading from disk.
