bvc Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 :o grub was installed by default? Really? That ....if true....it's about time ......now they just need to get hip with the fb grub :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 In the installation, toward the end, there is a summary page. Lots of folks don't check out all of that stuff, but you really should in case something is a default that you don't want! B) You can change it to whatever in Mandrake Control Center.

arthur Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 grub is more advanced than lilo. i think you could configure a splash screen in grub.conf, using the splashimage="file.bz2" option. I'm not so sure about the nice menu though. You can try the gentoo handbook on grub http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook this has been useless if you really want lilo, go to MCC > boot instead.

bvc Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 (edited) just like lilo....grub has to be patched to do fb. I'd hope that if it already was then madrake would give us the pretty grub by default or at least make the option available in mcc, so we'd know it's possible. It's not. Could try a grub pkg from suse. B) In fact, I think I will. Edited April 16, 2004 by bvc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 (edited) bvc, let me know if you can make a pretty grub in mandrake! Sorry, off topic! :woops: Edited April 16, 2004 by Ixthusdan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
