First lets Start with the GRUB splash. It is simple and adds an initial first appeal at boot. Three things to remember when adding a Splash to GRUB. The picture needs to be (1) 640x480, (2) 14 colors and (3) Its file format needs to be XPM and compressed as xpm.gz . Once done, that file needs to reside somewhere logical. I chose “/boot/grub” since that is where GRUB's menu.lst resides. You will need root access to properly add that file there. I would first open Konqueror as root, navigate to “/boot/grub”. From another file manager window where the file is, right click on it and Copy. Go to the root konqueror session, right click in there and Paste File. Once the file is in place, menu.lst needs to be edited. Instead of manually editing that file, download the Ubuntu package for QGRUBEditor here - [url]http://www.qt-apps.org/content/show.php/QGRUBEditor?content=60391[/url] Install the package and run QGRUBEditor which should show up in the K-menu under System. Do not change anything in the first tab of QGRUBEditor (Tab labeled “GRUB Entries”). Click on the Tab labeled “GRUB Settings”. Make sure that “Hidden Menu” is not selected. Go to the bottom and make sure “Splash Image” is selected. Click the Browse button and go to “/boot/grub”. Select the file that was copied to that location and click Open. That file and path should now be listed in the Splash Image line. Go to File then Quit. When you reboot, you should now see your custom GRUB splash.
