bcakup your system
$ cp /boot/message ~/message.old
make a new dir cpio (for example)
$ mkdir cpio
change to this dir ,copy message here
$ cd cpio $ cp /boot/message .
$ cpio -idv < message
$ rm message
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

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
