boot up look and feel

Other distros like Suse/Redhat have a good looking boot up. Each process is started with a colorful "done/ok" message at the right end. Is it possible to make debian do so? May be some hacking is needed, I guess. Point the files, please. -- Regards, .-

boot up commands

I want a insmod command to beperformed during booting. In which file should I put it up? SHould I write a new script, and put it in /etc/init.d? But I don't know how to implement the start/stop functions? Help. -- Regards, .---.

startx delay

When firing startx, X comesup, then in 2-3 secs windowmaker pops up, and then it takes a good 10-15 seconds for gnome panel to pop up. The doubt is, there is no disk activity at the interval. Why the delay, and can I speed it up a bit? -- Regards, .-

sound?

I changed the permissions, added user to group audio, et al. Now, when I use 'play ' command, the file is played perfectly. But 'mpg123 ' says no sample rate found, and gmix says no mixer found. When i do 'cat > /dev/dsp or /dev/audio', the speakers give a "korr" sound and nothing more.

exim?

I am a dialup internet user. While I was using SuSE, i had complete control over sendmail. I used to run 'sendmail -q -v' to see the mails being sent to my isp's server using smarthost. Now, with exim, I run 'runq -v', and all exim says is a pid number, and exits. How do I make exim more verbose,

sound ?

After a long struggle for a month, I finally managed to get X up under Debian. I have a i810 m/b. Now a problem: Sound isn't working. mpg123, gmp3 say mixer can't be opened. But 'lsmod' shows all required modules neatly loaded. Help please. -- Regards, .-
