Hi! I want to change grub's look from the default suse look to a picture I made. I looked at how gentoo does it (using the line 'splashimage (hd0,0)/boot/grub/image.xpm.gz'), but when I do it grub completely ingores the line. If I replacd splashimage with gfxmenu, grub says that it is too big. The xpm.gz file is 30 k, when /boot/message is 130 k and it works. should I change my xpm.gz file to a jpeg and cpio it, or is there more to do? Thanks! -Steven

SuSE puts the splash image in an initial ram disk. Look at the shell script /sbin/mkinitrd to see how it's done. It's certainly possible to change the splash image. -- JDL
