-__OLD Notes and Issues__ 
- 
-If on VirtualBox, go to main menu and choose "Insert Guest Additions CD Image..." and run the following commands: 
-<code> 
-mount -o ro /dev/disk/by-label/VBOXADDITIONS* /mnt 
-cd /mnt 
-./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run --nox11 
-shutdown -r now 
-</code> 
- 
-Missing Desktop icons: https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=47271 
- 
-  - Make sure caja is the default file manager in System --> Control Center --> Preferred Applications -->System tab. 
-  - Add caja to automatically start in System--> Control Center --> Startup Applications. 
-  - Reboot. 
- 
-**Tried /usr/bin/display with a .jpg or .png file, but this error results:** 
- 
-<code> 
-[juckins@centos7-test-64: /tmp/splash]$ display default.png  
-display: color is not known to server `FOREGROUND':  
-No such file or directory @ error/xwindow.c/XGetPixelPacket/3064. 
-</code> 
- 
-  * This does work on FC20 i686.  libpng may be a different version.  http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php?t=3900&p=28045   
-  * Test images in $HOME/Downloads 
- 
-ImageMagick may be a different version. 
- 
-UPDATE: Does work after installing Skype and its dependencies below (nux-desktop?) 
- 
-Comment out the GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT line in /etc/default/grub using a # at the start of the line, and grub should use a graphics mode again 
- 
-First see if the default kernel is the latest one for boot.  If not, add the following line to /etc/default/grub 
-<code>GRUB_DEFAULT=0</code> 
-Also remove the "rhgb quiet" flags. 
-Get the splash.png from http://juckins.net/dokuwiki/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=splash.png and put into /boot/grub2/ 
-<code>GRUB_BACKGROUND="/boot/grub2/splash.png"</code> 
-Then run:  
-<code>grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg</code> 
- 
-Notes on grub splash screen:
