Syslinux - Nov 2006 - Looks Like another Novice question here

I have looked through all of the documentation on the simple.c menu setup.
I am moving from the menu with the Default, and several files *.msg my
current menu launches in text and I navigate by F numbers or typing the
corresponding Number next to the option that I want, I can handle setting
this up, but I want a graphical background now and more customized options.
So I am modifying simple.c to satisfy me, now what do I still need the
default file and what goes in it, how do I compile the .c file and with what
options do I compile it with.  I just need a little more guidance than the
documentation provides, and when I get through I might put together a better
how-to on the issue, and also in the simple.c file the OPT_RUN, "what goes
in here",0);  is it my path of the boot image for that menu item. 
 
And guys and gals thanks for all of your help on this issue.

Hey,

First of all please dont use titles like "n00b question here" or
"beginner
needs help".
Please have a title that summerises your problem it helps people with the 
same problem to find relevent threads.
e.g "How do i comple simple.c" or "Trying to add more
functionallity to
menu system".

In Responce to your question, Look at  using the VESAMENU for a graphical 
menu.
IIRC It doesn't have the help in it yet but there was mention of it being 
added in a future release, 
in the mean time you can just have a more discriptive title for your menu 
items.


Regards,
