The following code can be used to convert a 256 color BMP to LSS format for use as a SYSLINUX/ISOLINUX/PXELINUX Splash screen. The bitmap must be LESS than 640 pixels wide (bug) and only uses the first 16 colors. CorelDraw and PhotoShop are good for re-palletizing and dithering.

Hello, it took me some time until I found out how to make _working_ .lss files for syslinux. So, here is the (rough) howto, maybe you like to include it in an FAQ. - Use a paint tool "gimp" (if you know how to handle it) to create the boot logo, keep in mind that it will have (at the end) only 16 color. - make sure it has 640 width. - save it as gif <black magic> - use the

Hi! First of all, sorry for my english. I have one problem. I'm creating a server to install PC's with PXE (dhcpd, tftp, nfs, etc...). And, at the syslinux moment, the image (splash.lss/logo.16/...) is not displayed, but the text into boot.msg works ok (colors and background ok). I copied files from Knoppix, Fedora and others... But it's the same: No image, but text and colors ok.

Hi All, I am having trouble with pxelinux display file not calling the correct name to retrieve the graphic image. I guess the filename length is determained the first time ^X is used, and doesnt re-size the field name on next call. For example when cycling through F1 - F2 - F3 the f1 image displays fine, and its the longer name f2 & f3 just display the text and no image, output from

Hi, I have just joined the list. I am the original creator of Puppy Linux, now letting other guys take the reins, and I am working on a fork of Puppy called Quirky Linux, where I try various experimental ideas. Up until now, in Puppy and all offshoots, we have used syslinux 4.05 or older. Over the last few days I have been testing 6.03 (using the binary DEBs from Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn),

Hi I have a small problem with displaying splash image in Syslinux, my boot.msg looks like this : - - - cut - - - <ASCII 12> before <ASCII 24>splash.lss after <ASCII 26> - - - cut - - - In VMware everything works OK, but when i restart my computer with burned iso it only display text over and under the splash.lss What it could be ? best regards AR.,,

Hello all, Forgive me if this has been asked before, I've been googling for two days now and the only thing that I've learned is that bootsplash is a total black art. I'm booting off of a USB stick and I've finally gotten a splash screen to appear before vmlinuz and initrd load, but once they load the splash screen scrolls off the screen. Is there any way to make it behave and

Hi, I have a 'little' issue with my bootable USB keys...

I would like to to know about conversion from jpg file to lss format. I used ppmtolss16. It is giving following errors. for .jpg file: ppmtolss16: stdin is not a raw PPM file at ppmtolss16 line 105, <STDIN> line 1. for .png files: ppmtolss16: stdin is not a raw PPM file at ppmtolss16 line 105, <STDIN> line 1. from .ppm file: ( I converted .jpg file in to .ppm file using irfanview)

I've begun tinkering with syslinux v3 and have uncovered an anomoly with the DISPLAY file when called by pxelinux.0. If I have: DISPLAY boot.msg With an "^Xsplash.lss\n" in the file boot.msg (exactly: 18 73 70 6C 61 73 68 2E 6C 73 73 0A) file, it will fail to load the rle image. And produce some goofy results in the tftpd log: Jun 5 06:27:06 pxe in.tftpd[24649]: RRQ from

Hi, I'm trying to make a splash screen for my own boot disk.I have already my own Logo in .lss but how can i make boot.msg? I put <Ctrl-X>myfile.lss but syslinux displays the text cause is text file how can i turn this file to display format with which programm. Sorry one more time but i didn't found anything on the net. Best Regards Menuhin

Hi, I've just been playing with the Logo for the Knoppix bootable CD, which is in the LSS-16 format used by your ppmtolss16 and lss16toppm perl scripts from syslinux-1.75. On my standard Red Hat 8.0 distribution these both fail due to Unicode errors. After a little investigation, it turns out that my LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 environment causes perl (5.8.0-55) to treat standard I/O as Unicode. I

Hi! I'm trying to create a custom logo for syslinux but keep bumping my head on the conversion to LSS16. The sample syslogo.png works fine so I decided to start with a known quantity by loading it into the Gimp. I cleared the canvas, color filled a blue background (0x000033) placed some yellow letters on the blue (0xffff00) and saved the file back out with the default compression. The

Hey, I just wanted to mention that the same problem still exists for me in version 3.09, altough the changelog mentions: Reduce the command line to 511 characters; 1023 caused memory overflows. Was this meant to be a solution for this problem, or does this entry of the changelog apply to another bug? thx, marco >Yesterday Curtis Doty said: > > > >>I've begun

Is the splash screen RLE is standard 640x480x4 or a modified one because I can neither open the file in Photoshop CS2 (Windows under ext2fsd) or Gimp 2.2 (Linux 2.6.12.16ubuntu) and I am unable to decipher Perl scripts. Will syslinux support standard RLE?

Upon finding a different image conversion program, I have eliminated the Premature EOF problem that I had(apologies if I post this before the moderator approves my first post...you can ignore it if/when it shows up). Now, I am seeing the script complete with no error. I tested my syslinux.dpy file with the syslogo.lss file from the samples, and it's fine. The lss file I created, however,

Hi there, I am trying to migrate from using syslinux with the gfxboot patch to using vesamenu.c32 which is a much simpler solution for my needs. The only problem I am having is that when I attempt to use the "splash=silent" kernel parameter it always boots as though I had entered "splash=verbose". By which I mean that the vga mode is correct, and the verbose graphics are

Hi Mr Anvin, after downloading the Freedos bootable cd, which now uses your projects (ISOLINUX & MEMDISK) instead of Bart Lagerweij's DISKEMU (www.nu2.nu), I contacted the creator of the freedos cdrom. I was interested in how he did make that cd bootable. Now I understand it a bit. As I'm a MS Windows user, I had to figure some things out. However, upon booting I get a beautiful
