Da ich leider noch sehnsüchtig auf mein Notebook warte, verbringe ich die Zeit damit, mich über es zu informieren:
Dell Portables POST Bitmap Update Program soll es laut Dell ermöglichen die Dell-Werbung, die beim Booten angezeigt, wird zu entfernen und durch ein eigenes Bild zu ersetzten:
„The POST Bitmap Update Program allows you to replace the image that is
displayed during the Power-On Self Test (POST) of your Dell Portable
computer. By default, the image displayed during POST is the Dell logo. This image can
be replaced by a specially formatted image loaded into non-volatile memory
(NVRAM) using SPLASH.EXE. The image remains in memory even when power has
been removed from the system.
The image which is loaded into NVRAM must be in bitmap (.bmp) format. The
image can be no larger than 640 pixels wide by 480 pixels high and must use
16 colors.“
