I read: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/LG/current/jayanth.html and it says to put my 14-color 640x480 image as /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz. But weird thing is: my /boot/grub contains no splash.xpm.gz (even with hidden files being displayed). I'm using SUSE 10.0 RC1. So where do I put this splash file I create? The following line exists in my /boot/grub/menu.lst file: gfxmenu (hd0,6)/boot/message and I see the file /boot/message which is a CPIO archive at 155.5 KB. Looks like this is it. I use cpio -idv < message on this file (after copying it to /home/myname/testing) and I find a list of files, each of which apparently provides a different component of the GRUB menu. Now what do I do? I want to replace the existing background with one of my own. Thanks.
