* Justin Whitney | Thanks a lot, John. Is there any plan to integrate this functionality | into the standard grub packages, or create a separate grub-splashimage | package for example? As much as this sort of thing is in excess of the | more technical provisions of grub, users of other OS's are familiar with | it - which is to say, in making a switch, they would miss it. Integrating | it seems to me to be an easy way to add familiarity to what is to many | linux newcomers a foreign OS.
