SPLASHPNG on Lenny

Hi, 

I'm trying to create a different SPLASH image in my CD. I have changed the default.conf to

export SPLASHPNG="/root/vts-lenny/tmp/debian-cd/data/lenny/splashn.png" 

I see in the output the mesages of ppmquant running.

Using ISOLINUX boot-disks image on CD1
ppmquant: making histogram...
ppmquant: 14 colors found
ppmquant: choosing 16 colors...
ppmquant: mapping image to new colors...
204800 pixels, 8724 bytes, (91.48% compression)

But whan I start the ISO, I receive the same default image in the Installer Boot Menu.  After some debugging I
found that the file debian-cd/tools/boot/lenny/boot-i386 had only two lines compared to more than 100
lines of etch/boot-i386. 

Please, any help would be appreciated. 

Regards, 

Flavio E. Goncalves

The splash screen you want to change is the debian-installer one, which
is defined in debian-installer/i386/boot-screens I believe.  I'm not
sure where debian-cd gets that info from, but when doing a netboot
that's the directory and I think the cd uses the same final directory.
Where in debian-cd you'd look, I'm not sure.

RES: SPLASHPNG on Lenny

Hi Daniel, 

Thanks for your help. I have solved the problem. In Lenny, the image is defined as a PNG file. The menu is based
in a graphical system (menuvesa.c32). So in the file stdmenu.cfg it defines a background image named
splash.png. I just changed the splah.png image and it is now working. The other system (splah.rle) did not
work. I'm not sure that the graphical menu will display on any kind of screen, so I did both things.
