Other Help Topics :: need help how to customize boot screen

I try to customize splash screen logo boot image
mkdir /bootimg
mount -o loop boot.img bootimg
cd bootimg
apt-get install syslinux
lss16toppm < logo.16 > logo.ppm
xpaint logo.ppm
Unable to open input file "logo.ppm"
Unknown image format..

I also got similar error msg with the GIMP.
My DSL 0.63.iso is fine i did md5sum.

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

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.

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?
