Do you mean "how to allocate memory on the heap", or how to determine the amount of memory used by GRUB at runtime? As for how to create a graphical menu theme: Example themes Screenshots: <http://grub.gibibit.com/Themes>; Theme source archive: <http://grub.gibibit.com/files/grub-themes-src-2008-08-15.tgz>. Theme file format is documentation <http://grub.gibibit.com/Theme_format>, <http://grub.enbug.org/ThemeFormat>. More information about the graphical menu system for developers <http://grub.gibibit.com/gfxmenu_design>, <http://grub.enbug.org/Subprojects/GraphicalMenu>. In order to use graphical menu themes, you currently need to build from a snapshot of my branch, which contains the gfxmenu feature. It is in the process of being merged into GRUB mainline, but it's not there yet. Here's the info on building it: Building GRUB+gfxmenu, 19 December 2008 ======================================= I have posted a source tarball (<http://grub.gibibit.com/files/cdbmain_r867.tar.bz2>) to make it easy to build GRUB 2 with gfxmenu support on your own if you want to install it on a real machine instead of just testing with the premade ISO image that I created. To build and install GRUB 2, the following commands should suffice:: tar -xjf cdbmain_r867.tar.bz2 cd cdbmain_r867 mkdir build cd build sh ../configure --prefix=YOUR_PREFIX_DIR make make install (or sudo make install, depending on the prefix) Some people have tried to extract the files from the premade gfxmenu demo ISO I provide on the download page, and either insert new files into the ISO image or install the files to a hard drive device. This usually does not work, so I recommend building GRUB 2 with gfxmenu from the source tarball yourself if you want to boot your machine with it or customize it. Regards, Colin
