Re: Bootsplash problems

Hi Jon,

maybe you want to give "splashy" a try:

  Description: A complete user-space boot splash system
   A boot splash program that doesn't require patching the Linux kernel.
   It paints graphic images directly to framebuffers using libdirectfb.

I played around with boot splash screens in a vmware virtual
machine some days ago and also started with the bootsplash.org approach,
including patching and recompiling the kernel, but finally splashy
was *much* easier to install. It starts the splash screen slightly
later than the patched kernel (because it is loaded as a module),
but resulted in much less trouble :-)

Best Regards,

	Andreas
