Hi, If you use live-build's default syslinux theme and you add a splash.png image of your own. It will be overwritten because the script converts the existing splash.svg file into splash.png ;) > > I see that the documentation suggests using a png file for the splash.

The idea behind the documentation in live-manual (which was trimmed in a rush, like I said on the previous mail) was to give enough information for a small customization. If I wanted to do serious work. I would use my own syslinux theme, and ideally I would package it in a nice .deb format and upload it to an apt repository. To be fair, I must admit that I do not build the package from scratch. I get the source of syslinux-themes-debian* modify it, and rebuild the package. It is fun to do it this way for learning purposes. > > All I need now is replacing @PROJECT@ and @VERSION@. The live-build system gives you many options when it comes to customizing things to your liking. You can use for example a binary hook. Your hook will be executed after the syslinux files are in place, so it should be trivial to make the "small" changes you want to.
