Description Frédéric Buclin 2011-02-20 09:53:36 UTC 
When Fedora boots, its splash screen is pretty rustic and not very friendly. Compare it to e.g. Mandriva Linux or Windows 7, and you will see the difference. A friendlier splash screen when booting the system wouldn't hurt.
Comment 1 Frédéric Buclin 2012-06-13 16:13:35 UTC 
The one in Fedora 17 is very nice. I hope this is the correct resolution for this bug. :)
Comment 2 Ray Strode [halfline] 2012-06-13 21:07:38 UTC 
That's fine. the one we use in f17 is actually the same we've used for a while, but it wasn't available on all hardware.
