:-)Hi!

:-)As Desktop Team Leader I guess I should try to make Gentoo look nice
:-)too. Therefor I thought that we should have some nice graphics when
:-)showing the grub menu at boot time.
:-)
:-)So it's now in the portage (grub-0.90).
:-)
:-)To make use of it (with a nice background created by drobbins) follow
:-)these instructions (works on both of my computers anyway):
:-)
:-)1) Update you portage-tree.
:-)
:-)2) Emerge sys-apps/grub/grub-0.90.ebuild
:-)
:-)3) Unmerge old grub package.
:-)
:-)4) Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst: 
:-)   (you might have to copy it from /boot/boot/grub).
:-)
:-)  4.1) Add (before first title):
:-)       splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
:-)       where hd0,0 should be where you have your root.
:-)
:-)5) Run grub
:-)   Where you'll get something like this:
:-)    (again, switch hd0,0 to whatever works on your system)
:-)
:-)> root (hd0,0)
:-)  Filesystem type...
:-)> setup (hd0)
:-)  Checking ...
:-)
:-)Next step in the make gentoo nice at desktop is some nice graphics for
:-)gdm login and perhaps a set of gentoo backgrounds which could be used
:-)in
:-)X. gentoo-backgrounds-0.1 perhaps? :)
:-)
:-)Regards and good luck,
