How to Dual boot Puppy & XP from ANY removable media.
An alternate high quality splash screen (beach.png) for syslinux is attached. (Resolution 1024x768 - 1.41MEG)
I did not expect this to work but having converted it from jpg to png it loads with no discernable delay.
Your MMV as syslinux's ability to display high quality splash screens varies with the
vesa abilities of the video chip or card & display. Having said that I am using a 7 year
old Nvidia GeForce 7300SE & later cards/chips have improved dramatically since then.
Also attached is a copy of vesamenu.c32 from syslinux 4.04.
The revised block of syntax for syslinux.cfg is as follows with the other splash screens simply commented out.
