here's a video of the pc booting, [game launcher] running
and [pac-man] starting under [vantage]. the slowest part is the
post. i've turned off everything that is not needed (serial, parallel
etc.) but can't get it much faster than this

<div style="text-align: center;">
<object height="350" width="425"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4Qp1xgzjN2Y">
</param>
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4Qp1xgzjN2Y" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"> </embed> </object></div>

i also want to swap out the default post graphic for something a bit
more of a "classic arcade" feel, like a pac-man and ghost.
