Generally 'oops' is a term for a kernel crash.  I suspect you are not 
using the term in that sense.

I think you are making some progress since gnome worked, but I really 
can't help any more.  I personally don't have much use for any ?dm boot 
system, so I don't have any experience with it.  I have the same opinion 
about 'Themes' and a graphical screen for grub.  It's all eye candy for 
items that are on the screen for a few seconds, not minutes or more.

That said, I can understand wanting to set up something like that for a 
novice user.  Hopefully someone else on the list can give you more help.
