Bootloader artwork

This directory holds the artwork used for the NixOS bootloaders.

bios-boot

The bootloader for legacy boot, specifically the ISO/USB image.

It is assumed it is of the SYSLINUX family, probably ISOLINUX.

Technically the ISOLINUX setup is to be configured to use a 800×600 resolution. This resolution ensures a maximum number of machines to be compatible, and still allows enough definition.

It is also assumed that legacy boot is not really used anymore. Most recent hardware will be using the UEFI bootloader. This is why the image is made assuming 4:3 aspect ratio; most of the legacy boot uses are assumed to be on virtual machines, where the bootloader will be shown with square pixels.
