i suppose you came here for this: gibson

ss_thumbnail or this,

nonProgress bar or for bootsplash.

I have also adapted some ideas for these lilo screens.

GIBSON

If you prefer Neuromancer to Nietzsche and Yeheyuans to YOWs, this fortune is for you. A simple test to help you decide: see if the excerpt below resonates for some strange reason.

I had a cigarette and a girl and a place to sleep. Do you hear me, you son of a bitch? You hear me?

If it does, then you will do as I have done: ditch everything else that came with fortune, yes, even Linus' quips, (let it go, man) to have the one, true fortune.dat.

installation instructions: After unzipping into some temporary directory, put both files in your fortune's data directory. On my deck, it's in /usr/share/games/fortune.

to run: If trashing your Trek and trivia is trés traumatic for you, run it like so:

fortune 100% /usr/share/games/fortune/gibson

Replace "/usr/share/games/fortune" with your location. Not that I run it like this, you know. I'm just saying you can, is all. swear to god.

IT'S BULLETTIME!

Grab this and this. Read the text in the screenshot for instructions on installing this bad boy.

THE ANTIPROGRESS BAR
nonProgress bar

Imagine, if you will, a progress bar that zigs. And zags. When you've attempted to install that SATA raid rig, or that scanner, or that digital camera, and your OS refuses to recognize it for the nth time, you may want to brute-force the splashscreen to end all splash screens. Here is the tarball.



LILO SCREENS

QuentinLilo

You may look at this and wonder, Why, when he's not that big a Tarantino fan? Until you realize what it's referring to.

Another liloscreen from deviantart.com, called Breeze, but placed on a metallic background.
