I am kinda getting a tweaked distrubution with CentOS, So this is kinda rebranding. I am not trying to change the hostname, trying to change the System OS name in the on boot screen. I have changed the grub configuration file and it reflects in the Boot OS selection screen, login screen. But only in the on boot screen does it not reflect. My search led me to something called plymouth, and the text (tri colour) theme is loaded. Trying to still meddle with it. But with no luck.
