Well, kinda been down this road before - the "message" in the /boot partition I'm able to open in GIMP, but can't for the life of me figure out what TYPE of graphic it is - not that I hate the "ShadowMan" graphic, I actually wanted to add some stuff on that same graphic so as to denote WHO installed/configured the system (my company logo) - but haven't, in the past three years, been able to get a comprehensive answer on it. Now I don't mind doing some ASCII art, but I don't want to detract from the nice graphic we already have with the lilo message file...just one of those niggling little things that never get answered and goes on and on and on...
