AFAIK, this is a generic lilo feature, and not >> specific to redhat or mandrake. Here are the steps which I have tried and it has worked for me. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- If u have a jpeg picture which u want to put as the lilo pic, than 1. Convert that picture using gimp to .pcx format. 2. Than change the image size to 320x200. In Gimp select image -> scale. 3. Than in the gimp menu select image -> indexed ( remember without this step the picture won't work ). 4. Rename the original message file mv /boot/message /boot/message.pcq 5. Now move your .pcx file to /boot with the name message. mv <yourpicfile>.pcx /boot/message 6. lilo -v 7. reboot That's it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Peace -- Rajesh : ####[ Linux One Stanza Tip (LOST) ]########################### Sub : Searching for strings in files LOST #172 In order to search for a string in some files, use: grep "string" filename1 [filename2 filename3 ...] This will print out the filename and the lines in the file that contain the string.
