BIOS Message

During boot, a 3-line message is flashed on the screen which quickly
disappears before I can get a chance to read it, or copy it down. Is
there a way to freeze the BIOS to hold that message on the screen?

Thanks

Press the key labeled "Pause/Break" on the keyboard.
That should stop the scrolling.

Alternately, use a video camera. Or a digital camera.
And take a snapshot of the screen.

Pause/Break did not work for me. Camera did. Maybe because the
message does not scroll (it is short), just flashes on the screen
for a quick sec.

Thank you.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splashtop

"Splashtop OS

It boots in about 5 seconds, thus is marketed as "instant-on."

It uses Bootsplash, SquashFS, Blackbox, SCIM, and
the Linux kernel 2.6.

Support for Splashtop OS has been withdrawn and downloads
of Splashtop OS have been disabled on the Splashtop website.

Splashtop features a graphical user interface, a web browser
based on Mozilla Firefox 3.0, a Skype VoIP client and a chat
client based on Pidgin. It also includes Adobe Flash Player 10."

So it's basically like a "browser in a can".

I will stick with Express Gate right now. Now that I know I have it.
Came with the MOBO at the time. Unless it proves to be a problem
anyway.

Thanks Paul

Express Gate is rebranded SplashTop.

That's why I posted that.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splashtop

"Splashtop OS

The first OEM partner for the original Splashtop was ASUS, and
their first joint product was called Express Gate."

So what you've got, is some version of SplashTop OS.

The Firefox rules, say if you compile your own copy, you
can't call it Firefox. I was just curious as to whether
it was named Firefox or not. It would appear SplashTop
use their own numbering scheme.

For example, if I download Firefox source here, and compile
it on my PC with Microsoft Visual Studio type environment,
the browser is renamed "Namoroka". The name changes because
it was a custom compile (I compiled in debug mode).

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Namoroka

So maybe the SplashTop people, took the source and made
their own derivative of some sort.

It would be too hard, to write a browser from scratch.
