Ahoi!

Simple question: I would like to install a grub-splash. I did, but I failed.
That's what I've done: copy an xmp.gz file to /boot/grub. Then I've added a comment to the grub/menu.lst:

right after the timeout line  
splashimage=(hd0,5)/boot/grub/filename.xmp.gz

Is this possible in DSL? Typical linux newbie question...

Any hints and tips?

I was hoping someone else would respond....  I will not be much help to you, but I would like to know if you ever get this working....

I was doing some reading at GRUB Splash Image Howto.  It looks like it may depend a lot on what version of GRUB DSL is using. I don't know off the top of my head. You may want to search the forums to see if anything is mentioned.

Keep trying... post what you discover

Good luck

======== Note =========
The DSL Forum Search default is 'OR'
If you search for "cat dog" you will get all "cat" posts and all "dog" posts.
If you search for "cat AND dog" you will only find results that contain BOTH "cat" and "dog"
Add '*' for wildcards, " cat* and dog* "

I think it also requires the "splash" application, but not sure.  The knoppix-autoconfig boot script makes mention of it, anyway.  Since it's run during boot, you may need to remaster KNOPPIX to include it.

Thx! Needle in the haystack for a linux newbie. But I 'll give it a try and post the results of my efforts.

Have a good time

Where does the TUX splash logo live when you do a hard disk install?  (I know where logo.16 is on the cd-rom/live boot but it doesn't apper to be there in a hard disk install!)
