# LiloSetup can be executed from a LiveCD. This means that lilo
# could be issued from a 'chrooted' Linux partition, which would
# happen to be the first Linux partition listed below.
# Therefore the following paths are relevant only when viewed
# from that 'chrooted' partition's perspective. Please take this
# constraint into consideration if you must modify this file
# or else LiloSetup will fail.
#
# If later on you want to use this configuration file directly
# with lilo in a command line, use the following syntax:
# "lilo -v -C /etc/lilosetup/conf" instead of the traditional
# "lilo -v" command. You must of course issue that command from
# the operating system holding /etc/lilosetup.conf & ensure that
# all partitions referenced in it are mounted on the appropriate
# mountpoints.
#

Its a really nice looking splash. Is there something I can do to make it a supported bitmap?

Thanks Shador. I was able to create an optimum palette with 256 colors, though the arch wiki suggests 16 and it worked great.
I was about to try the method from This site, which also mentions indexing the bitmap, but the arch wiki was very easy to follow, as arch wiki's generally are.
