hi,
go to the console and then
# su
[password]
# apt-get remove grub
#wget -c http://www.guiaubuntupt.org/files/gfxboot/grub-gfxboot_0.97-5_i386.deb
# dpkg -i grub-gfxboot_0.97-5_i386.deb
# apt-get -f install
then you should unpack the file you'd downloaded and copy the "message.ultimate" to /boot/grub/
after copy the 'message.ultimate' return to the console
# kedit /boot/grub/menu.lst (kedit, gedit, any editor)
and then you sud add the following sentende on the menu.lst
gfxmenu /boot/grub/message.ultimate
go back to the console again
# grub
appears a new kind of terminal, u sud type
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
(hdx,y) <- the terminal will return this to u, x and y are values you need)
now in the same terminal you type
grub>root (hdx,y)
grub>setup (hdx)
grub>quit
now u are on your normal console again, just type
# grub-install /dev/hda
(presuming your HD is the hda it may be the sda or other.)
hope it can help you :)
I don't really like the artwork nor the colors, but it is an excellent job; I have to admit even when I don't like it is an outstanding job.
Keep up the good work
:)
Edit /etc/default/grub file. Find the line starting with "#GRUB_THEME" and change it to "GRUB_THEME=/boot/grub/themes/[THEME_FOLDER]/[theme.txt]" (replace [THEME_FOLDER] ; [theme.txt] is probably OK ; remove "[]" brackets)

This is very great!Can I ask you how to make gfxboot themes?I haven't found one yet!
How do you apply this? I imagined all I did is place a splash.xpm.gz into /boot/grub but since there is no such file how do I install this?
