Deleting SuSE green start up screen

[taup41]

Can I delete the green SuSE screen on start up and have the Black screen with text that asks which OS to run, system is loaded with XP and SuSE 11.0

Thanks

Yes ... do you want the SUSE menu to be black & white or do you want to use the Windows bootloader?

hi I want to use the Windows bootloader.

Thanks

Yes from the windows bootloader

You should find plenty of tutorials on the net for doing this ... I tried it with Windows 2000 which should be very similar - I posted outline and linked to instructions here

easier to just use grub in black and white

open the file /boot/grub/menu.lst and delete this line

gfxmenu (hd0,0)/boot/message

you will need root access to do this

Thanks how do i get this file, i have zero experience at this.

Open a terminal(konsole or gnome terminal or terminal program from the menu) and type

sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst

or

su
nano /boot/grub/menu.lst

There is also a graphical tool to edit the bootloader. It is located in YAST->System->Bootloader. See image

But why do you get into all this trouble to get rid of the green bootloader to make it black & white??You don't like it or it causes problems?
