New Revision: 21012

Log:
  New feature: grub (0.97)

   *  Added the option to compile Grub with an eye-candy patch allowing
      the grub boot menu to have an image in the background (like lilo).
      This is the same patch used by other distros (gentoo,ubuntu,etc).

   *  Enabling this doesn't give you an automatic background on the
      boot menu.  It just allows the user the choice to set one if they
      wish.  dveatch and/or I might create a WIKI artical on howto 
      actually set the image (though googling "Grub splash" should find
      the user plenty of HowTos already).

   *  I am not bumping the UPDATED date, as this is obvisouly not
      important enough to make the world recompile their Grubs.

v3rt1g0,

how to use bootsplash with your patch?
It looks this patch is trying to add splashimage command but it does not work.
However patch adds splashimage to grub code but it is not accessible on boot 
or elsewhere. Also /boot/grub/stage2 file does not have it inside.

Such grub boot screen patch usually work by adding splashimage command to 
stage2 so it can be then used in menu.lst together with image.xpm.gz picture.

have a nice day,
