The grub-gfxmenu-v8.diff patch is out of date. Gfxboot has a newer one that fixes some bugs, for example 'savedefault' without arguments now works.

Hi,
I just tried to install the package and found that following entries in PKGBUILD should be changed:
pkgver=4.1.16
_pkgver=1.6
md5sum of the rpm package is bb20218cc9873534095d5830798d5841
Unfortunately I just switched to Arch so that I don't know that to do it here.
Regards, david

is it possible to get a precompiled version of this package as it doesn't seem to compile at all on arch64

mkdir 1
cd 1
cpio -i < /boot/message
cp ../picture.jpg back.jpg
su
..pass
ls . |cpio -o > /boot/message.new

hey!
great package, however I'm having a problem: when I download gfxboot themes (for example the one at http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Linux+Tux+-+gfxboot?content=46776) and configure grub to use it, it says something along the lines of "incorrect format", the one included works though... does the same happen to you?
