1. You will need to have Gimp 2.6 installed and ready.
Now create a new picture with 640 x 480 (480 minus some space for the text cursor). The original Slitaz splash will be 640 x 346 pixels.
2. Now create your image,with your creative works. When done, change the image mode to indexed colors.
3. Now save the image in PPM format:
4. Convert the PPM image to LSS image using Syslinux utility ppmtolss16 (a Perl program that comes with the Syslinux package).
Copy the file "ppmtolss16" to where you are working the picture.
Just type:
Done, you have a .LSS image file.
Now create a new picture with 640 x 480 (480 minus some space for the text cursor). The original Slitaz splash will be 640 x 346 pixels.
2. Now create your image,with your creative works. When done, change the image mode to indexed colors.
IMAGE > MODE > INDEXEDThe pre-boot image can only have 16 different colors, minus 2 colors for the text. So, you have to select "Maximum Number Of Color = 14", reserving 2 colors for the text.
3. Now save the image in PPM format:
FILE -> SAVE AS -> SELECT FILE TYPE (BY EXTENSION) -> PPM IMAGESave it (as RAW ppm).
4. Convert the PPM image to LSS image using Syslinux utility ppmtolss16 (a Perl program that comes with the Syslinux package).
# wget http://ftp.nluug.nl/sunsite/system/boot/loaders/syslinux-3.75.tar.gzInside the directory syslinux-3.75/utils you can find the "ppmtolss16" Perl script.
# tar xzf syslinux-3.75.tar.gz
Copy the file "ppmtolss16" to where you are working the picture.
# cp syslinux-3.75/utils/ppmtolss16 xxxxxxxxreplace xxxxxxxx with your image location.
Just type:
# ./ppmtolss16 '#ffffff=7'Where the '#ffffff=7' is the RGB color of the text cursor (red=ff, green=ff and blue=ff), which is the white color.imagename.lss
Done, you have a .LSS image file.
