Bug#537368: Alternative boot splash images don't work (with patch)
Package: debian-cd
Version: 3.1.2
I tried to create a custom installer with a different boot splash logo.
Passing the $SPLASHPNG parameter put the splash.rle file in the right
place, but apparently the real file used at boot is a splash.png in the
same directory which does not get updated by the boot-x86 script. I am
sure the patch is wrong in some fundamental way, but it works for me.
