Hello Friends...
I have four OS's in my machine and everything is working fine, however, i would like to make more "beauty" the system selector screen of chameleon.
Chameleon recognizes my Haiku partition as NTFS partition, its icon appears as such.
I would like to know if have some way to modify the icon of this "wrong" partition keeping the others with its respective icons?
Thanks.

I was reading the forums around and there was a thread to distinguish between the distributions of Linux but i'm not sure if it will work in your case. (Not sure what your Haiku OS is)

From reading kyndder's signature I understand Haiku as being BeOS based. As for whether or not that OS has a magic number for detection by the booter is a different matter.
The topic Zane was referring to was this one:

depends which partition's type to be used (ext2/3 or bfs..); but yes doable! a bit complicated with bfs though (3 magic numbers or so).

As cool as it would be to have chameleon autodetect EVERY OS IN THE WORLD!!!!1!!!eleven!... :o
*ahemm* sorry, don't know what has gotten into me... :-\
Since this is coming up very frequently (at least it seems like that to me) maybe the following might be sensible:- have a configuration option which can map partitions "(hdX,Y)" to icon filenames
- try to read a file "(hdX,Y).png" from the theme directory.
Not as elegant, I admit, but also much less hassle to keep in sync with all the OSes out there, and much less time consuming in the long run (after all, developer time is a scarce resource). ;)

Thanks Blackosx...
I think that`s what i`m looking for...
I`ll try and any progress will be sent in that post.
Bye.
