Add bootSplash to Linux GRUB

hi
today i wanna tell you howto Add bootSplash to Linux GRUB

1)Create or download a splash image
2)open a terminal window (Application->Accessories->Terminal)
sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
3)Add below lines to the menu.lst before the titles and then save it
splashimage=(hd0,7)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
#hiddenmenu
//add this line if you wanna hide menu

hd0,7 means on the 1st hard drive(hd) on the 8th partition.
you can get info about this by fdisk -l command in Terminal or by Disk utility in (Seytem->Administration) menu

Good Luck
