Hi, I would like to know if there is a way to change the default splash screen to any other image. Preferably done through text mode rather than through the GUI, if at all possible.
The distro is Red Hat 9.0 and the splash screen I am referring to is basically the menu that shows the different OSs on your PC when you first boot up the comp.
Change the line:
splashimage=(hd0,5)/boot/grub/image.xpm.gz
in your /boot/grub/menu.lst
The image must be 640x480 and in xpm format. You must then gzip it. The image can only have a limited number of colours (I think 256), but I think that xpm format is limited to this anyway.
