SHOWING SPLASH PICTURE AT GRUB

Originally, Grub menu only a text with dark background. I want to change it in order my menu is good looking with a picture, not just text.

We called this display is "splash" and the picture which used is called "splash picture".

This is a "howto" add and show splash picture.

1. Download and install splash picture
$ sudo apt-get install grub-splashimages
$ sudo aptitude install grub-splashimages
$ sudo dpkg -i grub-splashimages_1.2.3_all.deb
2. If installation is successful, it will create a directory under /boot/grub/splashimages which is consisted with picture in .xpm.gz ekstention
3. Edit menu.lst and add a command
splashimage=/boot/grub/splashimages/biosplash.xpm.gz
And give "#" at command hiddenmenu
4. Restart and we could see our grub menu which have been modified

If we want created picture, we could used gimp or etc which size is 640x480 pixel and colour is 16
