    I have wanted to animate the splash , for example let the daemon dance in joy when booting the box.
     
    I first let the soft clock interrupt handler function to be triggered when the variable cold is still "1" at early boot time ; and then load some different bmp files using loader ; now I can show moving pictures at boot time at a certain interval without any twinkle and stop them using some sysctl after booted.
     
    I am sure this could be accomplished , I wander whether there are any people having the same idea as mine , or if this is already on its way ?
