 Subject: Change Initial Splash Screen background

 Hello everybody!
 Any advice on changing the splash with live image red image?

 There is a .rle in templates which I think it's the file but rletopnm
 gives me a beautiful segfault :-)

 What is the creation process of this?

 Thanks in advance, Marco Ghirlanda
   
speaking about this? May I just rename logo.16 to logo.rle?

thanks for the tip :-)

still maybe the devs here can explain something. I will add to the wiki
if they think it's worth.


  Changing the boot graphic

The 'boot graphic' is the first image you see when the CD or DVD boots.
It looks similar to ASCII art and it is normally something flashy that
says 'Knoppix'. You can change this to be any graphic that you please,
but you must use a 640x480 graphic that has only 16 colors.

   1. Change to the /mnt/hda1/knx/master/boot directory. Swap
  '/mnt/hda1/' for whatever disk you are using.
  *

cd /mnt/hda1/knx/master/boot

   2. Back up your old logo in case you break things.
  *

mv logo.16 logo.16.backup

   3. Make a 640x480 pixel 16 color graphic and save it as a GIF, e.g.
  'logo.16.gif'. GIMP can easily do this. Note, you can use a
  graphic that originally had more than 16 colors, but it is
  critical that you conver the graphic to 16 colors before doing the
  next step.
   4. Convert the GIF to lss16 using the tools included on the Knoppix CD.
  *

giftopnm  640x400x16.gif  logo.ppm
ppmtolss16 logo.ppm  logo.16

Re: [PATCH 2/2] Remove kernel backups before handle linux image

 There's some corner cases that can cause you to have backup files of
 initrd or something related. Since those backups aren't useful to us
 we remove them before proceed otherwise we'll fail to copy them since
 the wildchar will match more then one file and the target isn't a
 directory.

Aggreed, that the current kernel-handling is not good, I'd like to fix
it with the splitted live-package; and not in the current static one.
