Found update-grub and it created a good menu.lst that works w/out f'ing up my system... but all the images look like crap... REAL grainie... like a colored pixel every 100th one.. you can't even tell what the image is supposed to look like.. Images are created according to specs i found for debian.. 640x480 14 colors and xpm format then and put into /boot/grub/ ... UUMMMM.... what the heck is wrong?? I'm sure it's the image but I'm following all the criteria I can find and rebooting OVER AND OVER just to test different image formats isn't a very good option... Your aid would be greatly appreciated... Mike..
