 Mandriva Linux Advisory                                   MDKA-2006:046

 Package : bootsplash
 Date    : October 24, 2006
 Affected: 2007.0
 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Problem Description:
 
 When multiple profiles are configured, they can be choosen in the
 bootloader with the PROFILE keyword, but this needs a dedicated entry
 or to append manually the profile at each boot.  To ease the choice of
 the profile during the boot time, Mandriva developed a frame buffer
 menu in GTK to choose the profile.

 Unfortunately in 2007, a miscompilation removed this application from
 the bootsplash package, thus the only left method to choose a profile
 was the bootloader one.  This new package of bootsplash brings back the
 'fbmenu' command which display the appropriate profile selection menu
 during boot.
