Hello all! I saw on ubuntu that when syslinux starts, it starts a pop-up with language selecting. I think (?) (not sure) this is from a patch of syslinux named gfxboot. And I want to make a bootable cd and I need to know how to obtain that with syslinux, or how to patch it with gfxboot! Thanks all! ----------------------------------- Shadow

The Ubuntu patches are slightly outdated but you can have a look at them if you download the source packages (apt-get source gfxboot-theme-ubuntu would be a good start). -- Pierre-Alexandre Meyer http://mouraf.org
