Re: grub splashimage support?



Thanks a lot, John.  Is there any plan to integrate this functionality
into the standard grub packages, or create a separate grub-splashimage
package for example?  As much as this sort of thing is in excess of the
more technical provisions of grub, users of other OS's are familiar with
it - which is to say, in making a switch, they would miss it.  Integrating
it seems to me to be an easy way to add familiarity to what is to many
linux newcomers a foreign OS.
