"rhgb" is also an option for GRUB which causes the Red Hat graphical boot utility to be launched. For more information regarding GRUB do a "info grub" from the command line. </pre> </blockquote> Actually what I want to do is to personalize the graphical boot screen. I wanted to use a personalized picture/splash screen... I've read about using bootsplash (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.bootsplash.org">www.bootsplash.org</a>), but as I understood it requires for me to recompile the kernel. This is too much trouble for a 'simple' whim. So I wondered if there's a way to modify rhgb, or else I would just leave it as it is.
