[Fedora-livecd-list] Why does my LiveCD look ugly?

[Bryan Kearney]

I am building a RHEL5 live DVD on an F8 box. I have noticed that my DVD 
looks ugly when the boot while the F8 live cds look good with their 
splash screen. Digging through the archives, I had an rpm drop a image 
which I want to use at boot time, and the %post section copies this to 
/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/syslinux-vesa-splash.jpg. However, I still get 
a TUI (curses) menu where I have to select what to boot. The timer does 
not appear to run, so they have to select it. I have based my DVD on the 
fedora-7 kickstart files.. only removing syslinux and kernel from the 
package list.

Is there any voodoo to get the bootup looking better?
