kv-6.1.12? I'll have to go grab it.

At the moment LFS has the boot but if I run into trouble I'll boot with slackware.

Yep, I am just working on some depenencies for the desktop. I'm going to have a go at getting xorg and friends installed tonight. If I succeed I'll be building an xfce desktop tomorrow.

I don't see the penguins until the screen goes blank (kernel modesetting I think) and then they show up after that. I never saw them until I added the nouveau module.

I have the boot logo selected in ..

make menuconfig -> Device Drivers -> Graphics support

It's right at the bottom.
