Changing things in BackTrack/Slax (Wallpaper, bootsplash, menus)
I want to change the default wallpaper. I tried to do it by creating a new Slax distro with MySlax creator (on Windows) using the BackTrack .iso as the baseline and adding modules and such. On the appropriate screen I entered the new wallpaper I wanted to use. However, when BackTrack boots, it displays that wallpaper for a moment and then the default BackTrack wallpaper takes over. I've tried copying the entire contents of the CD to the HD under an HD install of BackTrack (which works pretty well), did a mo2dir with the contents of the root.mo from the base directory, changed the wallpaper file that is in /root/.kde/share/wallpapers to the wallpaper I want, and then doing a dir2mo and making a new iso with ./make_iso.sh /tmp/new-slax.iso command. I got the default wallpaper anyway - it didn't work. Any clues?
I had a similar experience changing the default bootsplash graphic. I did essentially the same thing, doing a mo2dir with the etc.mo in the base directory, changing the bootsplash .jpg file at /etc/bootsplash/themes/Linux/images/bootsplash-1024x768.jpg to the .jpg graphic of the same size that I want to use instead, and then doing a dir2mo and making a new iso using that module instead. Same thing. The bootsplash didn't change for some reason.
I'm having trouble with the menus too. Whenever I use the menu editor tool with my HD install of BackTrack to add an app to the menu, when I save the menu it gets rid of the original BackTrack menu and puts all of the BackTrack apps in the Lost&Found menu. A bunch of apps that BackTrack did not have in the menu show up all of a sudden. I want to customized menu to go with the customized BackTrack distro that I'm creating for my own use. How do I do it and save it to the LiveCD distro?
I want to kill the KDE startup sound too, or at least change it to something less annoying. Still trying to figure that out.
And another thing, when I try to install a module to the HD installed version of BackTrack using uselivemod, I get an error that says / is not a valid union - can't insert module to union - error inserting module to live filesystem.
