Whenever I boot my notebook computer, after installing 10.2, I get those

The screen is programmed to be randomly shown.

While they may have been cute around Christmas,
they're beginning to wear thin. Is there any simple way to get rid of
them?

That was answered on the Factory mailing list. It isn't too hard. It
was also mentioned on this list a couple weeks ago.

I don't subscribe to the Factory mailing list. Why should it be
necessary to subscribe to any mailing list to disable such a thing.

you may not need to subscribe.. just search the archives.


Why on earth is there such a thing on something that should be
used in business?

You use Linux, it is all about choice. You can configure it whichever
you choose. There is no "evil empire" that dictates what your boot
screen looks like. My kids love it.

Your kids may love it, but many people don't. It's not appropriate for
use in a business.

I thought opensuse was a community edition ? I may be wrong but it definatley
doesn't show up on SLES/SLED


So, how do I get rid of it?
