I also got similar error msg with the GIMP. My DSL 0.63.iso is fine i did md5sum. Posted by woverin on May 06 2004,15:17
problem solved ...I notice that i can't convert logo.16 to logo.ppm in loop back dir.. so i copy logo.16 to a tmp dir. and lss16toppm <logo.16> logo.ppm Now i got my file. Another question is how do i customize boot parameter such as dsl xvesa dma enhance I would like to add my own parameter.. Any help would be appreciated I'll write a howto about customizing boot logo Posted by cbagger01 on May 07 2004,01:24
Edit the file "syslinux.cfg".This file is located inside the boot.img image. Add any new boot parameters to the first line of the file, which is the default boot command. Good Luck. Posted by woverin on May 07 2004,05:17
Thanks cbagger01, I'll look into it.

On a similar note, how can I edit the screen straight after the "boot" screen? After selecting boot image and passing parameters, it shows the penguin logo with 'DSL' in large (made up of characters) and a comment that it is booting damn small linux live cd........ is it possible to get at this and change it? I have looked at the init scripts in /etc/rc.boot, rc1.d e.t.c but they all appear to run after this point......... is it possible to edit that bit?

I am looking for this as well.... Posted by clacker on May 31 2005,20:17
the DSL in characters is hiding in the boot/isolinux/minirt24.gz file, in a file called linxrc. Remove the echo commands that form it and it goes away.
