+Background wise, its just a matter of putting the chosen logo on,
+which will not take me long.
+I wont pass judgement until I have seen the white monochrome logo,
+however I was planning on trying with a greyscale one.
+
+I have the background ready for plymouth, however i still need to get
+the animation to run properly.
+
+Ksplash is done, I just changed the background so it is the same as
+Mga 1's, previews are on the list, testing would be appreciated.
+
+I had a hdd failure last week which has help this up, I am still
+getting things sorted out and at present don't have a linux
+installation to work from. This will hopefully be sorted by tonight
+and we can move forward with the various task.
