Changing the Boot Image

From RedPost/Kit/Documentation

Jump to: navigation, search

The logo image that is displayed when the RedPost/Kit first boots can be configured by replacing the file logo.16 on the boot media. Follow the following procedure:

  • Create a 639x400 pixel image with no more than 16 colors.
  • Save it as a 16-color, raw PPM image.
  • If you use the GIMP to do your image editing, use a text or hex editor to remove the comment it adds to the PPM file (the second line).
  • Use the ppmtolss16 tool to convert the image to the proper format. 
ppmtolss16 < image.ppm > logo.16
  • Copy the new file to the boot media. 
cp logo.16 /mnt/flash

(Replace /mnt/flash with the location of the flash drive.)
