Clearing screen after selecting windows from grub?

I just got 20 new machines in my classroom to replace the 8 year old
machines, and added the Fedora 20 to the Windows 7 that the machines
came with. I was able to figure how to the old graphic from previous versions
to show up instead of the black screen with text only, and they is no issue
with any kernel or non-windows options, but when selecting the windows 7
boot option, the screen seems to show multiple copies of the original image
of the verne.png file but not correctly set. It just sits there for some time, but
then the windows does finally come up. Is there an option to have it clear the
screen when the option is picked?
Thanks.
Another issue that I have run into is that I setup one machine, and then
imaged them to the other machines. The the nic commands would not work
because the hardcoded mac wasn't matching, so I had create a script to
automatically modify the file in these 20 machines, but have also worked to
get the script to work with other machines with various nics.
This script works, but doesn't automatically change the file since I want to
make sure that it is correct before changing. I recall on previous versions that
you could tell it not to link the mac to the nic, so it was no issue with imaging
machines. Not a big deal, but found I couldn't use ifup or other commands
since it would give errors that the mac wasn't matching.
cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
nic=`ls ifcfg* | grep -v \~ | grep -v lo | grep -v org | grep -v new`
nicname=`echo $nic | cut -b 7-12`
HW=`ifconfig $nicname | grep ether | cut -b 15-31 | tr [:lower:] [:upper:]`
clear
echo NIC $nic NICNAME $nicname HW $HW
sed -e "s/HWADDR=.*/HWADDR=\"$HW\"/g" $nic >$nic.new2
cat $nic | grep -v HWADDR >$nic.new
echo HWADDR=\"$HW\" >>$nic.new
Again Thanks.
