I’m not completely sure what you are wanting to change. However, I’ll try a guess. If I misunderstood, then maybe you will be able to give more detail. Yast → System → Boot Loader Assuming that you are using either grub2 or grub2-efi, there will be a place on the screen labeled “Distributor”. The first word of that “Distributor” field is the name that grub2 uses in its menu. Change that and save the result. Alternatively, you can edit “/etc/default/grub” and edit the line beginning “GRUB\_DISTRIBUTOR=”. If you do it this way, you also need to regenerate the config file with ## Code: # grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg * * * ## – -opensuse 13.2; KDE 4.14.9 (main desktop and laptop); –opensuse tumbleweed; Plasma 5 (test system);- nrickert’s Profile: [http://forums.opensuse.org/member.php?userid=49759](http://forums.opensuse.org/member.php?userid=49759) View this thread: [http://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php?t=509536](http://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php?t=509536) ---

If trying to change the names of the various boot options in Grub2, one way to do this is using “’grub-customizer’ ([http://software.opensuse.org/package/grub-customizer)”](http://software.opensuse.org/package/grub-customizer). Wrt the Grub2 entry orders and labels, I recently used “’grub-customizer’ ([http://software.opensuse.org/package/grub-customizer)”](http://software.opensuse.org/package/grub-customizer) to name the Grub2 entries on the PC of my 89+ year old mother - such that she could better understand them. It also allowed me to place the Grub2 entries into the order that I wanted my mother to see. ## – oldcpu oldcpu’s Profile: [http://forums.opensuse.org/member.php?userid=77](http://forums.opensuse.org/member.php?userid=77) View this thread: [http://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php?t=509536](http://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php?t=509536) ---

It seems reasonable to give credit to the openSUSE project for a respin, which is what it seems you’re trying to build.

Asking users of their service to display that they used SUSE’s free service isn’t a huge ask. For those who don’t want it, there are other ways to achieve the same goal, but they require more work.
