Using OS Builder 1.3.1 or newer...

  • Install netpbm-progs
  yum install netpbm-progs
  • Install olpc-bootanim-tools from
  yum install http://dev.laptop.org/~dsd/public_rpms/f14/olpc-bootanim-tools-2.13-1.fc14.i686.rpm
  • Download the tarball or zip from http://dev.laptop.org/git/users/dsd/olpc-bootanim/ and extract the images from the "images" subdirectory
  • Prepare an images directory with your customized images -- the relevant files are the frame00.png to frame25.png files, and ul_warning.png . You must include them all in your custom images directory.
  • Add a section to your ini file:
    [bootanim]
    imgdir=/path/to/your/images-directory

for example, if it is a 'bootanim' directory next to your ini file, use

    [bootanim]
    imgdir=%(oob_config_dir)s/bootanim
