Hi whizzkids,

I downloaded a 2005.0 livecd theme and copied the directory to /etc/splash/. The contents of that directory (which is called gentoo-livecd-2005.0):
Code:

1024x768.cfg
1600x1200.cfg
800x600.cfg
Vera.copyright
icons
scripts
1280x1024.cfg
640x480.cfg
README
Vera.ttf
images
temp

Right. I copied the image called "background-1280x1024.png" from the images directory to /boot and changed my grub.conf:
Code:

# For booting GNU/Linux
title  Gentoo Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel /kernel-2.6.11-gentoo-r4 root=/dev/hdb4 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr,1280x1024-32@70 splash=background,theme:gentoo-livecd-2005.0
initrd /background-1280x1024.png


Is this the right way? There's no image coming up and during startup I see a warning somewhere saying "no valid ram image file" or something.


Thanks!

No, that's not right. Here is a simple HOWTO. I think it will help you.

Jeez, stupid. I've done that in the beginning like once, but my memory is forgetting things too easily. :?
