Whe nI boot up RH9 this screen first comes up right after the bios screen. The screen has a Rhedhat logo and two boot choices can I change the screen?(also Im bootin w/ grub if that helps)

It is always a good idea to check out google first. I did a google for change grub spalsh screen and I found this in the first two or three listings:

I think GRUB's splash screen is stored in /boot. To edit the choices you have, look in grub.conf.

If ne one is lookin at this how do I create a 15 color image usin the Gimp or how do I convert a 16 mill color image to 15?

look at imagemagick its pretty cryptic but nice because you can do some pretty cool image editing from the command line. But it will convert from just about any kind of image to any other kind of image.

guns don't annoy me by the way.

well ur a good liberal then, and thanks!

Ok i downloaded the tar.gz to /usr and uncompressed it and ran ./configure it worked but when I ran make it gave me that error 1 ans I tried make install after that it said the same thing. what should I do?

If u need more info just ask

what was the error?

Herre is the end when it started to error:

It looks like it is hanging up on making the perl module if you are not going to be using it with perl then try to configure it without any perl support. I didn't have any problems installing it and I don't have perl installed so I don't know what else to say. I use it with php without any problems to create thumbnail images on the fly. Hopefully somebody else can better decode those errors for you.

well Ill probably be usin it w/ php 2, how can I get it to skip that step?

--without-perl

I found this at:
http://www.imagemagick.org/www/Install-unix.htmlImagemagick
- installation notes

If you have perl installed then you may want to try and specify the path using the syntax specified on the page.

just looking back at the page again I would try to configure it with the

--with-modules

option as it doesn't look like the default is to allow dynamic modules and I think this is what that perl module that was hanging up is.
