Thanks for the download :)
There isn't many Puppies that have a splash image though, is there ?
hmm...that had a brief period of pupularity....I think playing with the initrd.gz put people off.
Bootsplash actually can attach a boot image and info to a pre made initrd.gz....also needs the kernel patched to use it...hmm
http://bootsplash.org/FAQ

As for a thread.... images plus premade files using a generic puppy template (as you made for me)...easy enough for people to contribute :).
I'm sure I could come up with some more piccies :)

regards

I think it would be very useful.

Mostly everyone surely wished to have a beautiful appearance on their machine

-gfx menu
-splash image
-and a nice theme

For my demo I added a line in help saying that ESC allows access to the advanced grub features...ie the original menu....might be a good idea

Yes, i think that probably would be a good idea.
I will make a new message file then repack and upload both packages in the first post.

Hi

@ Aitch, i could have posted message files showing scantily clad babes a long time ago,
i just thought it may have been frowned upon, especially by our lady members.
