Grub prettiness -- splashimage ?? -- re-phrasing

[William Case]

Hi;

My original wording was too quickly written.  Re-write:

Not an important question, but grub
splashimagee=(hd1,4)/grub/splash.xpm.gz did catch my attention.

Two questions;
1) At boot time a Fedora 8 image quickly (0.5 seconds or less) flashes
on my screen, then does something in a blank screen; then loads the grub
menu.  Can I either remove the quick Fedora 8 flash (splash.xpm.gz(??))
or extend its life so it can be read/seen?

2) Just for eye-candy's sake, does anyone know of a better (prettier)
grub menu layout that I might download and replace existing menu with?
