Today i installed the latest 2.6 kernel, 2.6.8.1. That was the day to give a chance to bootsplash …. This thing installs like a charm (found a french tutorial) … execpt the sysv-rc-bootsplash package which didn’t want to install (version conflict w/ sysv-rc) .. So i manually patched /etc/init.d/rc{S,}.
Finally hard to choose a theme in long themes list on bootsplash website. Unfortunately the theme i preferred supported only 1024x768 resolution (and i am running at 1400x1050) .. So this script came to help me to bring the theme to 1400x1050 :-)
Have phun w/ Bootsplash !
