Please correct me if I made a mistakes.

GRUB

Grub uses 640x480(px) and up to 14 color for the background image. You may convert/resize any images with any image editor, save it as .xpm file. If you have ImageMagick, you may use :


Code:
$ convert yourbootimage.png  -colors 14 -resize 640x480  bootimggrub.xpm


Then gzipped and copy boot-grub.xpm to /boot/grub


Code:
$ gzip bootimggrub.xpm
# cp bootimggrub.xpm.gz /boot/grub


Now open /boot/grub/grub.conf and add bootimggrub, here's an example of configuration :

Code:
default=0
timeout=33
splashimage=(hd1,0)/boot/grub/bootimggrub.xpm.gz
foreground=000000
background=fafafafa
hiddenmenu
title Slackware 12 (2.6.21.5-huge-smp)
        root (hd1,0)
        kernel /boot/vmlinuz-huge-smp-2.6.21.5-smp root=/dev/hda10 ro
        boot
title Windows XP SP3
        rootnoverify (hd0,0)
        chainloader +1


Where other customizable lines:
default=0: The default priority boot Operating System
timeout=33: Countdown timer setting for selecting OS
foreground, background: This is for the color setting.
title Slackware 12 (2.6.21.5-huge-smp): This is where you edit the title for your OS, only this line, the afterlines are meant to be left as is.

=====
LILO

LILO uses the same resolution, 640x480(px), but up to 255 color. Convert and save your image as .bmp file. After that, copy that file to /boot. For example, I use mybootimg.bmp, then :


Code:
$ cp mybootimg.bmp /boot


Now edit file /etc/lilo.conf, and put these lines:

Code:
install=bmp
bitmap=/boot/mybootimg.bmp
bmp-table=50p,215p,1,6
bmp-colors=255,0,240,75,240,60
bmp-timer=580p,455p,0,254,


Where :
bmp-table : A position of where the LILO table must be shown. The syntax is (x-coordinates),(y-coordinates),(column),(row); p means in pixels. On my examples, it means the LILO table will be shown 50pixels from left and 215pixels from top.

bmp-colors : Color setting. The syntax is ,,,,,

You may left both shadow color and selection shadow color empty, the value is 0-254.

bmp-timer : Countdown Timer setting for OS selection. The syntax is ,,,,

Check above rule for value.

Once you are sure that /etc/lilo.conf is properly configured, run

Code:
lilo -v


note: I'm also a newbie, so please tell me if anything wrong. I hope it can be useful somehow.

edit: Correction and adding some example on grub configuration; Adding "lilo -v" to apply change on lilo.conf]]>

Any member tried or even have one devices that based on embedded linux system here? I really want to know more about this.

Personally, I have one Yahoo (sbcglobal.net, AT&T owned) account that I use for spam and internet accounts that really aren't important. I have one Hotmail account that I use for more important stuff, so I never give it out. I don't really use the Hotmail email address because it is sickroachman, which some people might find the name inappropriate or just not take it seriously, but I forward all the domain emails I hold to it. I also have a Gmail account under sickroachman, but I never use it for the same reason. I use Foxmail to get both my Yahoo and Hotmail accounts. Anyway, I used Google Checkout today to get 3 free Sandisk Extreme III 4 GB Compact Flash cards for my camera, and I checked out Gmail for the first time in a long time after using Google Checkout. I really like it. I wouldn't be apposed to using it as my main email application if I could change my email address, but they currently don't allow it. I am already signed up for adsense with it otherwise I would create another.

Anyway, I am drunk so I am rambling...

If you want to know the deal about the flash memory then go to:
3 x Extreme III Compact Flash for Free after Rebate
3 x Extreme III SD Flash for Free after Rebate

EDIT:
Looks like they ran out of the CF, glad I got in on the deal while it lasted. By the way, it's a mail in rebate and they send you back a prepaid debit card that can be used anywhere Visa is accepted.]]>

I have come across an issue that has become very upsetting and so far I have not found a proper solution.
I have to fight this every day several times daily and any of you using Vista are going to be faced with this as well most likely.:sad:

My problem is wmplayer.exe is constantly loading in the background for no good reason. Anytime I restart vista, insert any memory device, turn on any extra drives, turn off or disconnect any devices, and I think anytime I use my photo printer that blasted wmplayer.exe loads up in the background.

You never see it, you just know its there because your system feels different and you have to go to task manager to cancel it.:unsure:

I am so sick and tired of it. It causes all kinds of mischief mainly when using anything needing audio or video codec access. It is even noticeable when I am trying to perform intensive operations in other applications like Paint Shop Pro Photo XII, or Poser Pro, and even simply using the windows explorer to view files and directories.

I have tried everything I can think of to disassociate wmplayer with all files and prevent all start up possibilities and nothing ever worked. I don't want wmplayer ever touching my dvds (PowerDVD), and I do not want it to view any video files or audio (VLC media player), and I want wmplayer to just stay asleep. I have pumped it full of enough tranquilizers to kill outlook express and it refuses to lay down and die!

I finally started to understand what was happening. *points at mobsync.exe hiding in the back of class underneath the pile of childrens coats.*:mad:

Supposedly mobsync is some sort of Internet Explorer embedded utility to synchronize all offline files with up to date online files. Microsoft apparently does not have a way to actually remove or disable this "feature":exclamation: Somewhere there is a way to disable offline content in Vista, but it doesn't stop the program.

I have searched for days trying to find some answers and have found a reference to a third party utility capable of removing it and its "features" but I have yet to determine if it will mess up any activity I currently do with my system. I have also once found a set of instructions to stop mobsync, but the instructions were either wrong, or do not apply to vista because the places it showed me to go either do not exist or are not where the instructions claim:question:

All I want is wmplayer to stay down on the ground and not get back up. I have tried chaining it and locking it in a box, but mobsync keeps sneaking behind me and unlocking it.:crying:

Removing Mobsync has no effect, If you actually succeed in removing it from your system, it just returns like you never did anything.:confused:

I am tired of the audio glitches during DVD watching, and resource hogging of wmplayer sitting in the background while working in other programs. It uses 11% cpu when it is sitting there doing who knows what.

I would be greatly appreciative of anyone who has come up with an antidote to this bacteria infesting Vista.:innocent:]]> It's features have been very useful to me and it has been stable for me.
