  1. bcakup your system

    $ cp /boot/message ~/message.old
  2. make a new dir cpio (for example)

    $ mkdir cpio
  3. change to this dir ,copy message here

    $ cd cpio
    $ cp /boot/message .
    $ cpio -idv < message
    $ rm message
  4. edit gfxboot.cfg

    # penguin theme likelihood in percent; -1 = auto
    penguin=0
    default-1,if you dont want to see penguin anymore ,use 0
    $ ls | cpio -ov > ../message

if there's no error, copy message to your system

$ sudo cp ../message /boot/message
reboot

in gnome type

gedit gfxboot.cfg

in KDE

kwrite gfxconfig

the file is just those two lines it's easy to figure it out from there. Its the percentage of times you want the xmas screen to appear. If you want the penguins all the time change it to 100, none of the time change it to 0
