Such a short answer that needs such a long reply :)
But fair enough...

There is no real answer for this because it can be so many things.
Basically this is a theme. There are already a few installed by
default, they are in /usr/share/gdm/themes/
Make your theme, tar it up, and send it in.
>>LILO boot screen
320 x 200 pcx file
If you don't know what a pcx file is, don't worry, the gimp does. :)
If you need an example, it is installed as /boot/message.
You might need to rename it as message.pcx.
It is best to test this to make sure it fits the menu correctly.
>>GRUB boot screen
640 x 480 png, or xpm file. It ultimatly get's put as a xpm.gz file.
If you need an example, it is installed as /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
This is another one that you really should look at it installed to see
if the menu fits right.

1600 x 1200 png or jpg.

>>GNOME SPLASH SCREEN (will take default gnome screen if no entry)
This is more of a theme again, but can be just a picture.
/usr/share/pixmaps/redhat/gnome-startup.png
is what it currently is
>>KDE SPLASH SCREEN (will take default kde screen if no entry)
A theme again, but basically 4 png pictures.
Look at /usr/share/apps/ksplash/pics/ for an example

Download the anaconda src.rpm from Fedora 3, and change the pictures in
the 'pixmap' directory.
I'm also open to suggestions as to what the color scheme of the
installer should be.
Last time, someone told me "just make it black and white" ... and I have
to say, that really turned out good. (well, so I made it shades of
black and white, but it is close enough)
But a set of Red Green Blue numbers is always welcome too.
Thanks
