Rainboot3 allows you to turn the boring booting procedure into a flashing multimedia show. Rainboot will be launched at the top of your Startup-Sequence and then it will show the selected demonstration while your Amiga boots silently in the background. When the Workbench is loaded, Rainboot will be signalled so that it can close now its demonstration screen because the Amiga is ready to use now.

The demonstrations which Rainboot shows are called "configurations" (configs) because they contain instructions what Rainboot shall do. These configurations are simple ASCII text files which contain commands and keywords. Rainboot will parse this text file then and launch the show. So Rainboot is the interpreter for those configs.

The command set for Rainboot is pretty big. You can do nearly everything you want with it because Rainboot is script-based. It does only what you want it to do. You can download a lot of already created configurations for Rainboot from this homepage. Just go to the downloads. If you can't find the right one in this extensive archive, read the documentation and create your own configuration for your unique boot up.
