Description: This provides both a console bitmap and silent bootsplash similar to the Lilo bootsplash I posted earlier.
I have only tested this with Mandrake.
Please note I take no credit for the original artwork which was posted previously.
I only added the missing resolutions and console bitmaps along with cleaning up the configuration.
I may have missed the 640x480 console bitmap, but you can easily adapt the 800x600 bitmap for this.
I prefer the slightly visible smaller tux on the right side of a console screen where it is far less obtrusive, yet manages to get oogles from the non-initiated.
If your machine or laptop is capable of 1024x768 add a
vga=791 to your /etc/lilo.conf to enable the console bitmap.
E.G.
compact
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label="linux"
root=/dev/hdaX
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="devfs=mount resume=/dev/hdaX splash=silent"
vga=791
read-only
As appropriate for your installation.
BTW: If you wish to speed up your boot, make sure that compact appears in /etc/lilo.conf as indicated.
This dovetails nicely with the GNU/LINUX Tux KDE splashscreen posted earlier, and utilizing the TUX.PNG image as a centered desktop decoration.

Yes I liked your design quite a lot! It is my favorite, and it adorns laptops and servers now. THANK YOU!
It's an honour for me to see you using my bootsplash theme: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=11386
