GRML LiveCD - X Window Background Image


I frequently use GRML LiveCD, particularly when I'm on the road and need to use computers that do not belong to me. It is an excellent distribution that includes almost any user or admin tool you could think of.

It even has a basic X Window environment in the rare occaisions when the command line will not do the job.

GRML has installed a "default" background that shows up no matter whick window manager you use, ie fluxbox, twm, etc. The backgournd is not very nice according to my taste. I would prefer to have something else when showing off Linux to new customers, clients, or friends. I have been unable to find the location of this background image. I have also been unsuccessful in trying to change or disable the image.

Where can I find the default background image so I can either remove or change it?

Thank you,
Jeff

PS. I believe GRML is loosely based on Debian.

Many desktop managers place the images in /usr/share/desktop. You could also try a find for all images on the disk and seeing if any of those look likely.

Thank you Matir,

It was located in /usr/share/grml/desktop

It was a link to a jpeg image in the same directory.
