This is annoying indeed but unfortunately nothing we can do about it right now. OTOH, if you read all the comments of #485858 there are a couple of workarounds listed that might work for you and your friend. > He's using a ThinkPad T61 Model 7658-03U, Bios 7LETC6WW (2.26). > > He also said grub came up for him with white text on an off-white > background, which didn't quite inspire confidence. The live CD/DVD and the keys made with the latest stable make-live-device.sh script do not use grub, and if it does and it came from us, then you would have the splashscreen in the back, so I don't know what this grub stuff is about, not ours for sure. a. --- [email protected] http://identi.ca/group/puredyne irc://irc.goto10.org/puredyne
