+At install, there seems to be a boot option to not only be in 800x600
+(1024x768).
+
+You will tell me that the image resolution even exceeds the default
+screen resolution, but I guess the installer code resizes or clips the
+image. All that I know is that these are setup this way - there is
+likely place for better use and documentation of this, yes. :-/

+
+Ok. Noted, this impacts the whole Ia Ora theme so that would need more
+tests, apart than just in the installer - a bit short for alpha2. But
+that would be nice that the artwork team gets its hands on it as well.

+
+Same as above.
+
+Could you have a look for the images? and I would need to have image
+files before tomorrow noon to have time to push them into the module
+and have the module built.
+
+For later work, I will call on the -dev list for a packager/dev/hands
+to assist artwork (doc, cleanup, replacements) for each of these:
+ - drakx/installer
+ - bootstrap (Thorsten, we already have you - still ok?)
+ - ia ora theme
