how to change the default wallpaper in fedora remix?

[orioncaspar]

I'm trying to create a fedora remix. But, the problem is I don't like the fedora's default logo. So, I want to change the default wallpaper while creating the remix. How to do that? Do I have to insert any code inside the kickstart (.ks) file? If yes, what do I insert?

I also want to change the default login theme and splash screen. What do I have to insert in the .ks file?

Please, I need some serious help.

AFAIK, all customisations MUST be done in the KS %pre or %post (not sure which) section.
The code would be 'normal shell commands'.

Which is pretty tricky with GDM, if you choose LXDM or SLiM as Loginmanager you can simply manipulate /etc/slim.conf or /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf respectivly.
Or you could add your wallpapers, in a sub-folder in: /usr/share/backgrounds/, and do a symlink to /usr/share/backgrounds/default.png

Attention, both changes should be done in chroot or another work around, in either one (dont sure wich) of the above stated section.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply, I have already added a few commands under %post section for some other customization. But can you tell me exactly what I have to write under %post section to solve my problem? I just want to know the command string.

As per your suggestion, I did as the following, but no help.
I renamed a wallpaper as 'default.png' and put it at the directory /root/Pictures/MyOS

#	Variables
#
	chroot=/mnt/sysimage			# The "rootdir" of the future system
	label=MyOS				# Used as folder name
	src=/root/Pictures/$label		# Where your backgrounds reside localy
	dest=$chroot/usr/share/backgrounds/$label # Where they will have to be copied to
#
#	Action
#
	test ! -d $dest && mkdir -p $dest	# Verify destination exists
	cp $src/* $dest/ 			# Copy all files inside $src
	cd $(dirname $dest)			# change to /mnt/usr/share/backgrounds
	ln -s ./$label/file ./default.png	# Recursivly symlink the files properly
