ArchServer can be confused with a Schtroumph (see: http://www.moemoea.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/schtroumph.jpg).

To avoid that a few changes are necessary:

-- /etc/rc.d/functions --
C_OTHER="\033[1;34;40m" # prefix & brackets
C_H2="\033[1;36;40m" # highlight text 2

Should be :

C_OTHER="\033[0;32;40m" # prefix & brackets
C_H2="\033[1;32;40m" # highlight text 2


-- /boot/grub/menu.lst --
color light-blue/black light-cyan/blue

Should be :

color green/black white/green


Syslinux can be changed as well, there is documentation here : http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/Doc/menu (MENU COLOR section).
This task depends upon

The menu.lst of grub is already adapted. ;-)

Updated the PKGBUILD and put new i686 and x86_64 packages into [testing], I tested the i686 package and it works for me.

Instead of using sed statements in the PKGBUILD, I cloned the AL initscripts git repo and made the changes. Then uploaded a new tarball to hydrogen as initscripts-2010.02-1.tar.gz.

We should create a initscripts.git repo on hydrogen and then we can just pull in changes from AL when needed.

I also suggest we change the word "busy" from the teal-ish color AL used to light green, it looks better to me at least.

This is resolved now isn't it? My VM installation is pretty green on boot :D

The design for the boot menu still looks way too much like AL. So we need to adapt this ;-)
