   I got them on the Leap 15.1 installation DVD which I burned a few months   
   ago. It was the same one as of old - the tumbling penguin indicating the   
   count-down and the two penguins marching to and fro, one outside an igloo.   
      
   I had forgotten that it was Grub 2 that stopped it appearing on an   
   installed system. The DVD must have legacy grub.
