| Customising Boot Logo |

Hi
Can any one tell me whether there is a graphical interface to customise Boot Logo & Boot Splash Screen
I wanted to have a Blank Screen with a Stop Clock showing the time needed to Boot up
How can I make this
Mouse Pointers are a bit awkward (Subjective)
I have installed few themes for Cursor
Yet not satisfied, is there a way to customise the mouse pointers.
Yours

| Can I Mount HD on Startup? |

I have system(s) on 128GB SSD. Most files and data are on 1 TB HD. I would like this to mount automatically each time on startup rather than having to mount manually, input PW etc. each time.
Is this possible and if so how?

Initial installation went well but a few niggles, some of which will describe so as to give feedback to developer. But in terms of software specifics:
After initial installation I installed System Load Indicator along with System Monitor (I have rural connection and really like seeing graph of upload/download in the panel). It worked great. Clipit installed and worked great.
But the HP1018 printer wasn't working so I tried a trick I learned last week: pull out the USB cable, reboot, put it back in and printer should/might install. Well, it didn't work this time (though it worked 4 days ago first time I installed LL2). Go figure.
But also, and this is the main reason for this particular post: the System Load Indicator and Clipit are no longer visible in the Panel. They have gone! I uninstalled and re-installed them but they just don't show any more.
Does anyone have any idea how to get them back?

I'm having problems with incorrect key allocations (more than enough to make it unusable) since I changed to UK keyboard layout. Usable on default US layout but hey, we invented the language!. There's no map for this PC in the settings. Can anybody help a whingeing Brit.?

| Linux Lite 2 Performance Review & Some Queries |

Hi
I have 5 Parameters for Linux Evaluation as a Normal End User Download Size, Live Boot Performance, Installation & Customisation, Functional Performance and Others. Linux Live Scores in these areas are presented below as below benchmarked with two Linux Distros which I am using or recommending others - Fedora & Linux Mint
Fedora Linux Mint Linux Lite
Desktop Environment XFCE Desktop
Download Size 15 10 20
Live Boot 15 20 15
Installation & Customisation 15 17 13
Functional Performance 20 15 17
Others 15 20 15
Total 80 82 80
Fedora Scores Average Marks in all aspects except Functional Performance which is unbeatable. Mint Scores low on the Download Size as it is above 1 GB and is a bit poor compared with Linux Lite on Performance.
Linux Lite is the most resource friendly and eye candy Distribution.
2 Issues with Linux Lite:
Additional Application Installation is not a bit easy. Though the promise is so, I am finding that the Additional Software Installation does not work seamlessly. Further the synaptic package manager is not as effective as I had observed in Mint or Ubuntu.This area is a bleeding issue for the distribution
Installation with 3rd party codecs and multimedia support takes hell a lot of time. This was not the case with Ubuntu or Linux Mint.
2 Best Points
Completely LTS and hence acts like a semi rolling release with two versions we can have 7 years of easy usage without any difficulty.
Easy and Simple to use, best for any one who is just starting into a Linux Distribution
Questions:
I really do not see an advantage for going to Linux Lite as Linux Mint does all these stuffs in a much simpler and established manner.
What drove you to make a distro when Linux Mint is the best Ubuntu Derivative
What was in your mind in having “Additional Software Installer”.
Instead you could have given “Software Customisation Center” - A More Graphical Presentation of the additional applications.
This would have eased the user.
Many Nos example 10, 11, 14, etc., are not working with the Additional Software Installer.
The concept is a bit failing and not working.
Why the synaptic package manager is not functioning in the same manner with Mint or Ubuntu
Yours

| How to clean uninstall Grub2 |

I use Grub4Dos to boot my linux distros and want to completely get rid of Grub2. Grub2 is a bloated piece of software that makes the process of each kernel update very long, especially when there are multiple Linux versions installed on the same machine. You just get stuck watching the screen showing the message "updating grub configuration file" when Grub2 slowly scans the hard drive.
1) Option #1 is to turn off os-prober:
Code: - gksudo to: /etc/default/grub
- add the following line:
GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true
[img height=600 width=564]http://i.imgur.com/BZ08YKe.png[/img]
This is not too bad, the message "updating grub configuration file" is gone, but there is another one that cycles twice during kernel updates (on my system 2 minutes is wasted on that):
"generating grub configuration file"
2) To get rid of the message shown above you need to completely uninstall Grub2. However, when I try to uninstall it with the command below:
Code: sudo apt-get purge grub-pc grub-common grub2-common grub-pc-bin grub-gfxpayload-lists os-prober
I end up with some orphaned files and directories, indicating that the uninstall was not complete and maybe some more packages should have been included in the purge command. I assume that only the files on the screenshot below are really needed for booting (with a bootloader other than Grub2):
[img height=483 width=800]http://i.imgur.com/A7FkY8t.png[/img]
I'm not sure if all the files below can be safely deleted manually:
[img height=483 width=800]http://i.imgur.com/lwFomxi.png[/img]
[img height=483 width=800]http://i.imgur.com/HZiJPsL.png[/img]
[img height=483 width=800]http://i.imgur.com/hAMpIGX.png[/img]
[img height=483 width=800]http://i.imgur.com/3pmbMdb.png[/img]
[img height=483 width=800]http://i.imgur.com/IYR0E6A.png[/img]
Or is the kernel itself somehow linked to Grub2 by design, in which case deleting Grub2 would not be a good idea even if another bootloader was always used to chainload "vmlinuz" and "initrd.img".
For the record, booting Linux from Grub4Dos is explained here:

I have posted this on Ubuntu forums but couldn't get a clear answer:
