Help Remastering boot screen

[wikibox]

Hello I am ain the process of finishing my first remastered CD and so far it has gone through smoothly and I have found 90 % of all my questions here. Here is where the other 10% comes into play: I am not able to fully change the name of my pup from NOP to "ROOTBEER" (yes it is a tentative name)
HOW DO I RENAME ALL THE BOOT SCREEN OPTIONs: CHANGE FONT COLOR/ELIMINATE SOME OPTIONS (I.E: No puppy pfix=ram JUST TO KEEP IT SIMPLE)


I want to thank you all for all this complete reference book called forums.
It really helps.
Barry Kauler truly coded something amazing, truly ahead of its time

(I.E: No puppy pfix=ram JUST TO KEEP IT SIMPLE)

to keep it simple, IMHO leave this IN

It is an unnecessary complication to take it out & you'll not be able to sort out configuration problems later without it

For the boot screen stuff, the file in question is boot.msg, which is directly inside the ISO. Probably the easiest way to edit it would be to mount the ISO and copy the file to the harddrive, make your edits, and then use IsoMaster to put it back into the ISO.

For the format of that file, see http://syslinux.zytor.com/faq.php, about two-thirds of the way down. The section is titled "++++ DISPLAY FILE FORMAT ++++".

I like to use the hexeditor hexedit to work with that file, but if all you want to do is basic changes you can get away with using a normal text editor. Hexedit is in the official PETget repository.


As for the bit about renaming it, I'm not sure exactly what you mean. If you're referring to the hostname, just edit the file /etc/hostname.
