&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;not find any info
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;about these files...does anyone know how to edit or create custom
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;replacements for these? or any good how-tos on bootsplash
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;configuration
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;I vaguely recall that the splash image is contained in /boot/message,
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;which is actually a cpio file. Unpack it and see if this is what you're
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;looking for. I would suspect that you could simply replace the splash
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;image there with what you want, but I've not tried this.
