grub's splashimage command
I have fedora, slackware and ubuntu on my hd.
I use slackware 99,999% of my time. I just keep some space to install other distros. Mostly out of curiosity. Anyway, when I installed fedora, I decided to use grub as my boot loader. Now I'm thinking of removing both fedora and ubuntu, and since I used fedora's grub to boot, I installed slackware's grub, and keep my menu.lst under /boot/grub in my slack partition. My problem is that i used some pretty spashimages in fedora's grub, and I want them, but i cannot make them work. The images are under /boot/grub/splash/ and my slack partition is hda7 But although i have a "splashimage (hd0,6)/boot/grub/splash/<imagefile>.xpm.gz" in menu.lst the splashimages do not load. Is splashimage a command only fedora's grub has? |
I do not know about slackware, but I use splashimages with sarge's grub.

Ok. I did not search the forum before I posted.
This was already asked 6 months ago, and a guy offered a solution, he had a link where you could download his stage2 file. I do not know if that worked since the thread starter did not reply. Actually google revealed me that spashimage command was a patch someone did for a linux distro, and fedora adopted it. I think debian also has support for it. But considering slacks philosophy, if this is not in the official GNU Grub source-tree then it's not on slackware. Anyway for slack 10.1 a guy has already packed grub 0.96 with spash support in linuxpackages.net. If anybody is interested here is the link: http://www.linuxpackages.net/pkg_details.php?id=5931 |
