I'm booting my DSL from an USB-Pendrive and I want to change the picture that appears before DSL boots.

How can I do that? Is it at least possible? ???

yes. the bitmap is in the lss16-format. take any 640 x 420 (leaving space for the bottom text) 16 color bitmap and convert it to the ppm-format (i used bmptoppm from the debian package 'netpbm'). convert this to lss16 with the ppmtolss16 program from the debian 'syslinux' package.

So far so good,

Thanks first for the Info! But how and where I must put the Picture? On the Boot-Partition? Into a archive?

Please explain it to a n00b, like me!

Thanks again!

well  - rename the resulting image to 'logo.16' and replace the original file on your pendrive (usb-hbb install: pendrive root directory).

Sorry to bump, but are there any tools to make the LSS in a Windows machine? And how about downloading the bmp2lss by itself, outside of the full Debian upgrade?
