    I'd hope that this is only a temporary measure until someone can get
    around to rewriting the boot menu to load minus beastie as the default,
    and I'd hope there's the option to enable loading with beastie enabled in
    either b&w or color.

    I'd think it would be just easier to remove the "boring-beastie" and
    "technicolor-beastie" ascii art sections from the beastie.4th file so that
    we could still have the menu until a final fix to this issue can be made.
