Forgot to mention. I'm running Gentoo 2.6.18
And, remember, I'm not talking about the bootsplash that comes up after you choose an OS from the grub list. I'm talking about the actual Grub menu that comes on, where you can choose which OS or which kernel you want to load.
In SuSE, you see a list with "SUSE Linux X.X" and "SUSE Linux (Failsafe)", etc.
In Gentoo, there is an ugly-ass border around the choices and the default background is a purple gentoo mess. I need to find a way to change the menu, and I need to find a way to remove all the borders, etc. Ideally, I want to have just the different kernel choices displayed in a tiny font at the top of the screen, and nothing else showing, except a short bar highlighting the appropriate kernel choice.
Again, this is different from the bootsplash that starts up after you've selected the kernel/os of choice and you see all the boot processes being loaded in verbose mode that can be switched via the F2 key. That's not what I'm interested in configuring.
EDIT: Thanx BigRig - Your mention of SuSE prompted me to check its bootloader and that's when I discovered gfxboot and gfx-patched-grub. Hopefully, I'll have it all patched and lookin' slick tomorrow.
Thanks
