Re: GRUB picture

Use the Gimp.
- Se size to Width=640, Height=480.
- Set number of colors to 14.
- Save as "xpm" image type.
- Gzip the image.
- Move the compressed image to /boot/grub/
-----------------------------------------------------

Or use imgemagick toolset
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php

Give command:

$ convert -size 1280x1024 YOURIMAGE.XXX -resize 640x480 -colors 14 -profile '*' grub_image.xpm

Replace YOURIMAGE.XXX with your original image to be converted.

This is driving me nuts. A few days ago, I read about a GUI program that's designed to convert and install pictures for use by GRUB in one quick process. Not that doing it manually is hard, but it'd be nice to be able to do it quickly.

I can't remember where I'd read about it or what the program was called. I *think* it was mentioned in a review of Fedora 5, but I could be wrong. Of course, none of teh FC5 reviews I checked since then made any mention of it.

If anyone knows of the existence of such a program, and could post a link, I'd be very happy.
