This article for Mandrake users.
when you boot your linux you see the following screen
So How do i change this boot screen?
There is many ways
You can install/make bootloader themes
but the easiest way it to just replace the current image with the one you want
open /usr/share/bootsplash/themes/Mandrakelinux/images/ folder
now u can see a collection of images
bootsplash-Sceen resolution.jpg
vt-Sceen resolution.jpg
silent-Sceen resolution.jpg
the default resolution for the bootloader screen is 800x600
so will will replace the 3 800x600 images
choose the image you want to use as your boot loader background
lets take this one http://wallpapers.neo5k.de/content/images/wallpapers/linux/linux-117-1024x768.jpg0
use gimp to resize this image (make it 800x600)
now name it "bootsplash-800x600.jpg"
put this image in /usr/share/bootsplash/themes/Mandrakelinux/images/ (you must be root)
you will be asked to replace the existing one, yes replace it
now goto start-->system-->configuration-->configure your computer
goto boot section --> select the graphical theme of the system while boot
you should be able to see your picture on the right panel
click on Ok button and then reboot your system
can u see your nice picture during the booting???????
Enjoy

we want to keep content organized
forum is for questions and support. if you have an informative content and you want to share it with members ,submitt it on wiki pages. you may submit it under wiki-->> » Articles Under Construction
then it will be article if take care of it :).

yes in that case it is
yes thats a good place for it.
if it is deemed a very imporant piece of news a moderator can push it to the front page.
Wiki should contain articles and pieces of knowledge that will benefit from others editing it.
forum is for things we are likely to talk about and discuss but not likely to want to edit together.

no mistakes are fine
we are very happy to have a new active members, mistakes are expected and are not a big deal.
yes its not obvious how to add content to the wiki, when we upgrade to Drupal 4.6 (probably after exams) this will improve.
meanwhile what you need to do is create a new book page, and in the parent field choose articles under construction.
its important to put this on the wiki, because otherwise no one will be able to edit it, you'll notice when you browse the forum that the edit link does not exist.
but if its a book page (wikipage) everyone will be able to edit.

you didn't
changing the outline of a node to be part of a book heirarchy does not turn the node into a book page.
while what you did solved the organizational problem it did not sllow our members to edit the page.
anyways I changed the node type manually from the database, but next time please create a new book page, copy the content there, then unpublish the original.

I wanted to say the page is n
I wanted to say the page is not changed from it self .I thought when adding it to outline it will be classified as wiki.
since the outline will not work ,creation a new page would be perfect
mdk man : write any start page but do not submit it as question ;-)
