Hi, do somebody here know where can I get the gfxboot patch for grub?... I'm looking fordward to use it (and make a pkgbuild for the rest of course), but I cannot find the patch

gfxboot is nasty and poorly done. I looked into this at some point. I believe you need to get the patches from SuSe somewhere...

Something like this, for example?
It is in community repo, too!

That's not gfxboot
gfxboot is what the Ubuntu live cds use...

It looks like this:

Which is awesome and all... except for this. Here is how you "make a theme": http://dev.gentoo.org/~dberkholz/splash … me-ubuntu/

Enjoy writing a theme for that pile of crap.

no, thank you, I'm not brain dead and I don't want to be, still there's people that put themselves in the risk of becoming a zombie by means of head-exploding that have done some nice ones...

I also look at it at some point, but get stuck with the complexity of patches and auxiliary programs needed for it to work.

I do not think it is crap. Bad docummented, yes, complex, yes, but crap, no. It provides some features that the original grub splashimage patch lacks like support for 256 or hi-color images, fancy menus, no menu corruption (fixed also in Fedora 6 grub splashimage patches).

While it is used in many distributions like Ubuntu, Mepis, I suggest going directly to the original source, SuSE srpms.
