Debian GRUB Splashimages
------------------------
1. How to make one?
For a HOWTO on how to create one visit:
http://ruslug.rutgers.edu/~mcgrof/grub-images/
Basic instructions:
* xpm file format
* 640x480
* 14 colors only
GRUB understands xpm files directly but since they can be big we compress
them hence you'll usually see splashimages with file extensions of xpm.gz.
Note: be careful, gzip'ing a file and then renaming won't work. You must
gzip the original name. Why? .gz files contains the original name of the
file and grub relies on this.

2. How to submit one?
If you'd like your splashimage in this package send them to mcgrof@ruslug.rutgers.edu
---
3. License?
Include a License that will allow me to redistribute it that is compliant
with the "Debian Free Software Guidelines" [1]. I like the GPL ;).
Fortuntely the xpm file format accept C99 comments, so you can just edit the
file with your favorite editor (vim, emacs) and add some text like the following:
