Is it possible to customize Ubuntu’s boot screen?

by

When we boot up a Ubuntu CD, it will first pop-up a language selection screen and let us choose a language.

Then, it will show us a list of options that we can do using this CD:-

  1. Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer
  2. Install Ubuntu
  3. …
  4. Boot from first hard disk

I plan to modify the Ubuntu CD’s iso image and create a customized installation CD. For example, i want the CD to automatically choose English as the default language without showing the selection screen.

I also plan to modify the text in the list of options to:-

  1. Boot Ubuntu Live CD
  2. Install Ubuntu into this PC
  3. Exit

Is it possible to customize these boot screens in the Ubuntu iso image and create a new installation CD?

Can anyone give me some advices how can I do this?

Answer

The menu you see is actually just grub. You’ll probably want to look at the Ubuntu documentation for creating your own LiveCD; you’ll probably want to edit the grub configuration files, which should be located in /boot/grub or something similar (the configuration is called either menu.lst or grub.conf).

Configuration help for grub can be found via the Google. 🙂

Good luck!
