image size : 640x480 color index of 14 (or maybe 16 will work)
image format: xpm
The splashimage name MUST be the same as the actual image.
gzip naked_lady.xpm results in naked_lady.xpm.gz
If you want, email me and I'll send some of the grub splashimages I've
used in the past..
Oh.. btw... don't forget to adjust your bg and fg colors in menu.lst so
they work with the image..
Here's the Grub online manual..
