    I once saw an ATM with a Windows NT "blue screen" error message :-)

    FWIW, I wouldn't have responded to Raphael's post in the way I did, if he
    said something along the lines of "I'm using Linux in a TV set-top
    box|ATM|kiosk application, and I want to hide the standard boot-up output
    with a nice graphic".
