Re: grub splashimage support?

[Grant Bowman <grantbow@grantbow.com>]

My best knowledge at this point is that the splashimage support was
added to the CVS images.  This conflicts with the previous plan to NOT
include it until AFTER grub 1.0.  I submitted a patch to add information
to the grub README.Debian file.

I don't think this has changed, but I'm not sure.

Regards,
