I installed FC2 on a spare partition to start playing with it, and when it boots up, it goes into a pretty screen with a workstation icon and circling arrows with an option to show more details. I swear I remember seeing this with FC1, but I haven't for a long time. With FC1, at the time when the pretty screen would come up, the screen goes blank for a few moments, then blank with the X-Windows X cursor, then briefly blank again before finally getting to the login screen. I figure I must have lost this feature with a kernel upgrade, and upgrade of gdm or some other software. Is there a way I get the pretty screen back in FC1?

Thanks!
