Hallo,
i have installed grub-0.90 from the RH 7.2 RPM. This version of
grub contains the VGA16-patch, whicht allow you to display a
splashscreen.
After I have try out it, I thought, it may be helpful, if you
cann hide the box drawed arround the menu, the usage text and/or
the timer countdown.
So I have developed a patch, with implements
noborder Couse, that no border wil be draw
hideusage Couse, that no usagetext will be display.
hidecountdown Couse, that the timer countdown will not display
on the screen
I hope, that this patch may be helpful and I'm will be pleasure
to hear your mind about it.
Best Regards:
Jochen Schmitt
