Screenshot uws 800x600

welcome screen does not scale well to 800x600

The step 1 and step 3 images are around 100 pixel bigger than in ucs 4, which is a bit to much to scale down to 800x600.

Only Virtualbox and VMware show the welcome screen in 800x600.
KVM and real hardware shows it at 1024x768 which scales well.

It is possible to scale the images in plymouth if needed, though in a first test that didn't look quite right. I think that should only be a fallback.

As an alternative we can review if we still need grub/gfxpayload set to 800x600. Setting it to "keep" worked for me and resulted in a 1024x768 welcome screen.


I don't think this is a release blocker:
- It's not completely unreadable (though it annoys me quite a bit...)
- The appliances can be rebuild
- It can be fixed in an errata if customers choose to update during the installation.

I added "interim-9" to discuss the importance of this. I think this can be fixed later. Though I think rebuilding the appliances with "grub/gfxpayload=keep" could be a quick workaround.
