Hello, I am new to puppy but not to linux. I can do a simple remaster which I have already done,

But I would like to replace the splash pic when it boots to my own and replace the one after that says welcome to lupu 5.2.8. with my won screen and to have it close when they click the ok need to add this also?

Would also like to edit the menu list not sure where to find it though. I have already looked through puppies files and read some of the Read-me files that I saw. Have no problem learning code just need to know how to do things to get me started with this project of mine.

Thanks, oldyeller

I would try the well-minded puppy search: http://www.wellminded.com/puppy/pupsearch.html
Search for 'edit puppy splash screen'. Good luck with your new puplet!

If you're referring to the boot splash screen, you need to replace logo.16 in the ISO with your own. Simply create an image using the PPM format (it must be indexed to around 10-30 colors, otherwise it will look terrible). After that, convert it to an lss16 image format by opening a terminal and running ppmtolss16 and specifying the image and the output .16 image. Then just use a typical ISO editor like ISO Master and replace it. There you go, custom splash screen.

Hi there!

I think if was part of oldyeller's first post if i understand him correctly, so i thought i'd jump onboard

It's working very fine for the boot splash image (logo.16), thank you so much for your help/tutorial Sheepy!

What about if you want to modify the pop-up window at first boot that says "Welcome to Puppy 528" when the dog barks and language/time/xsettings come up?
Is there any way to customize image/text/sound? At Woof level i guess but that's still a bit early for me

Tbh i'm fine with default ones for everyday use remasters, but let's say you wanna offer a special Puppy to a special someone that says something very special ...

Cheers guys !

This is a post to get the loss tools for lupu 528 to change the boot screen use RSH pet for this.

FreqQ,

you need to edit the DISTRO_NAME field in the file named /etc/DISTRO_SPECS.

You shouldn't edit the other fields, unless you know how to hack initrd.

Cheers mate, i had forgotten about that part, but i shall look into it more soon

I am a question in about the same or comparable order:

I use also a version of lupu 5.2.8, but the wonderful English/Spanish version of Josep2424 with KDE 4 integrated (wonderful because really fast as well as good integrated, for ex. Dolphin. Konqueror works but divers little details need to be better, for ex. management of fonts etc.).

see picture!

And I did remaster it so, that I have

- a lot of goodies in my KDE favorites, especially more browsers (Links2 managing SSL for my emails, Midori static to save web pages as Midori saves all pictures and text in one unique document without annexed subdirectory, and Seamonkey with addon for search machine duckduckgo in SSL mode and not Google any more as well as a lot of dictionaries, mTpaint image for screen snapshots and retrovol for fast access of both, as it is to long to use them without, etc.)

and

- a script named go on my KDE 4 Desktop folder so I can immediately after starting Lupu with KDE start or not start (if I am in the hurry and only will copy a file on a USB drive etc.) divers things needing a certain time to enter in action (actually following things:
#!/bin/sh
skype &
ln -s /initrd/mnt/dev_ro2/ /mnt/home
ayttm &
seamonkey2 &)

so is my system very flexible.

And I don't use some save file at all, as I don't want that my self defined default values can be modified at all through my working with the system : each new start is fresh with those minimal default values and I am shure about full discretion (credit card no., internet banking ressources etc.; after working on that field, I always restart immediately and Puppy forget absolutely sure all things...) - no hidden personal files or directories from the last or more older sessions! the same discretion as in the old puppy versions 1.0n disappeared from the use of save files. Documents beeing to be saved can be saved consciously / knowingly from the adequate client (Seamonkey writer, Abiword, mTpaint etc.) into the adequate subdirectories usually managed by Puppy.

So I never need some localisation or invite to create a save file! More:

I will avoid unintentionally creating of a save file!

So is my question:

How to remaster lupu 5.2.8 without both invitations at start and at shutting down Puppy?
