Change Boot Splash Screen

Post#1 by **millerthegorilla** » 28 Oct 2023, 15:10

Hi, I have customised the iso to add a network chooser dialog, so that the distro can be used to revive old laptops to be used as kiosk mode youtube browsers so that parents can leave their kids with the laptop and know that they will only access youtube.

I am calling this Papillote (butterfly) and want to let potential users download it as donation ware, with donations over the server costs being donated to a charity for survivors of abuse.

I want to customise the boot screen to have an image of a butterfly and the name Papillotte. Where is the boot image stored, and how can I change it?

Many thanks...

Tried looking for that, extra downloaded the Porteus-Kiosk-5.5.0-x86_64.iso

No image found in boot/ that I can identify.
There is an image in /docs :

Code: Select all

root@rava:/mnt/loop/docs# file default.jpg 
default.jpg: JPEG image data, JFIF standard 1.01, resolution (DPCM), density 28x28, segment length 16

Trying to open that with my image viewer viewnior I get an error I never saw before:

Code: Select all

Error interpreting JPEG image file
(Suspension not allowed here)

Dunno if /docs/default.jpg is the file you are looking for.

Sorry to be of no more help.
