Slax Tweaking

The logo is a very good way for name branding. The first time I saw the "SLAX IS STARTING PLEASE WAIT", I said to myself, wow, that's cool.

However, the good feeling only lasted several seconds, until I notice I can't see the boot message the normal way any more.

Tomas, could you please revert the logo to the small/standard size that all the rest of the distro that are using? and place the "please wait" to the right of the logo?

This to me is actually a philosophy issue. Windoze tries to hide as much as possible — you boot up windows, all you get is a "nice-looking" picture, and some FAKE progress on the bottom, and everything is happening behind the scene. Bill Gates likes that, and I think most Windoze users are used to it. But I just can't stand it and always disabled the "nice-looking" picture —that's about 10 years ago.

I am so used to watching the boot up message flying through when booting up Linux now. It upset me a lot if I can't. More importantly, since I'll be using slax mostly as a live system, instead of doing HD installation, it is even more important to watch them as you are booting a new PC.

Tomas, please! Slax is a live system. We need to watch those boot up messages.

Tried to press the [Shift] [Page up] key.

The logo disappears on my machines and you have the full vga view to all the messages.
