To help, I attach here a HTML rough mockup of the basic elements. To
really get it useful, you will need to checkout the drakx module:

  $ svn co svn://svn.mageia.org/soft/drakx/trunk/

Then copy the installer_mockup.html file into trunk and open it
(relatives path to images). Expected to render correctly in WebKit and
Firefox.

(note that not all images have to be replaced)

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
