could you help me installing it? on my openSUSE 10.2 i'm doing this: sudo mv /home/anubis/51031-message.linuxhack /boot/message simply replacing old message fiel.. but when i reboot grub say: INVALID FILE FORMAT

shakka

1- rename the file 51031-message.linuxhack to message.linuxhack 2- and edit menu.lst: # nano /boot/grub/menu.lst 3- find and replace similar: gfxmenu /boot/grub/message.name to gfxmenu /boot/grub/message.linuxhack

I have the same invalid file format error, and it doesn't matter what the files name is. I've only found 1 file that works, and its not in english so its not usable for me =/

Hi, first of all good work! A question....I have a 1280x800 display resolution, it appears strecthed. What can I do? Another question...after I choose my boot it ask me that I passed with a different number of resolution and I can choose from some res.(ex. 80x25 or 80x60) i choose one of this and it's all ok. Why does it always ask me this?? thank you

GRUB

How to install a grub theme:

  1. Extract the theme to /boot/grub/themes/

  2. 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)

  3. Run sudo update-grub
