-Using vesamenu this is now much easier ...
-
-For the vesamenu, it is called a background image, rather than splash
-image, because the menu appears on top of it.
-All you need is a 640x480 image in png or jpg format (the default image
-in larch is called bkgd.jpg)!
-
-=======================================================================
-
-But here are the old instructions, just in case ... (the utility programs
-are in the 'syslinux' package):
-
-Splash screen for isolinux/syslinux
------------------------------------
-
-This could be easier ...
-Anyway, it needs to be in a particular format. 640 pixels wide and quite
-a bit less than 480 pixels high (to leave space for the boot text).
-Then it may not use more than 16 colours. You can reduce the colour
-depth by setting indexed mode in the GIMP (image - mode). It may be
-sensible to use only 14 or 15 colours (to leave something for the
-text?) - but I didn't really investigate this further. I reduced
-my image to 14 colours.
-Then you can export it to a .ppm file, which serves as input to the
-perl script ppmtolss16, (which comes from the syslinux tarball -
-its inverse is lss16toppm, which is also in there):
-
-./ppmtolss16 < splash.ppm > splash.lss
-
-To test this, convert it back and take a look at the result:
-
-./lss16toppm < splash.lss > test.ppm
-
-Just replace the existing splash.lss file (in cd-root/isolinux) with your
-version.
