This is my first attempt at a lilo bootsplash for Slackware 12.
(I couldn't take that red box for another minute)
Download the file, which will be a 256 color bitmap.
in the terminal descend into the directory where you saved it
rename the file lilo.bmp

then as root do the following:
# ls /boot
(if there is already a lilo.bmp file there then make a backup of it i.e., # mv /boot/lilo.bmp /boot/lilo.bmp.bak )
copy the new lilo.bmp with:
# cp lilo.bmp /boot
backup your existing lilo.conf file with:
# cp /etc/lilo.conf /etc/lilo.conf.bak
then with your favorite editor add the following to /etc/lilo.conf (add it right after the line that says "boot=/dev/whatever...")

bitmap = /boot/lilo.bmp
bmp-colors = 239,220,0,220,239,255
bmp-table = 400p,250p,1,15,17
bmp-timer = 255p,431p,255,0,0

then run lilo
# lilo
(it may warn you that the bmp-table might spill off the screen but don't worry it won't)

reboot and enjoy
