+syslinux splash image
+=====================
+
+This image is used when generating the CD images, and is displayed on
+the first promt after booting the CD.
+
+Clues on how to make such image is available from the
+ISOLINUX/SYSLINUX splash image mini-HOWTO,
+<URL:http://www.sweb.cz/Frantisek.Rysanek/splash/isolinux-splash-HOWTO.html>.
+
+Some important excepts:
+
+The image need to be 640 pixels wide (the basic VGA screen width) with
+4bpp color depth (16 colors).  The vertical dimension should be
+definitely less then 480 pixels and please be aware that you need some
+space below your image on the splash screen for your welcome text - at
+least one line for the boot prompt.  To sum up, 200 - 300 pixels might
+be an appropriate height.
+
+The PNG image should use indexed colors with less than 14 , and color
+indicies 0 and 7, in particular, should be chosen with care: 0 is the
+background color, and 7 is the color used for the text printed by
+syslinux itself.
+
+The PNG passed to debian-cd is processed like this:
+
+  pngtopnm < splash.png | ppmquant 16 | \
+    ppmtolss16 "#ffffff=7" "#000000=15" > splash.rle
