Description: This is a bootsplash-screen for Debian. www.bootsplash.org ist very useful if you want a bootsplash on Debian. I took DogFaceMonk's bootsplash-screen and just added the Debian-logo.Last changelog:
This Bootsplash now has a working progress bar (at least it's working on my Debian Woody). I followed the HowTo on http://bulmalug.net/impresion.phtml?nIdNoticia=1812
The files "rc" and "rcS" are included in the package.
[New] Now with three different logos: * Debian-logo with text and penguin * Debian-logo with text * Debian-logo
i have found a script, and adapted it to use /sbin/fbmngplay, but it is hard to make it load it from the right runlevel...
i'll send you the script via email if you are interested...
Thanks I have been wanting to have my Debian install look as good on booting as my SuSE one does on the other PC. I will have to see if I can wreak my Debian system with the bootsplash patch. ;-)
Hi!
First of all, you need a kernel, that supports bootsplash-logo. You will have to recompile the kernel.
On http://www.bootsplash.org you will find a howto.
You also will need an initial ramdisk (initrd) which you can make with the tool "splash".
The tool can also be downloaded on www.bootsplash.org
Finaly you will have to alter your lilo.conf to load the initrd on startup and boot the new compiled kernel.
Hope that helps,

but i have done all of it and still there is one problem ... when starting system i have an message like that :
RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0.
I don't know what to do :(
I have patched the kernel and copliled it to use SPLASHSCREEN instead of BOOTLOGO, changed lilo.conf i have used ./splash program to create initrd image but still it isnt working :(

hi, could you post a bootsplash without the penguin, i mean jsut the debian logo... thanks...
Sure, do you want it with or without the text (Debian Gnu/Linux)?
hey, thanks a lot... ..hm I almost forgot, could you get the animations to work during the boot, i mean the .mng files in the animation directory?
Sorry, I have no idea how to make that :( I have'nt found a howto on this yet.

That would be nice. I will look at the script and see what i can do.
ok, check your email...
Here you will find a tutorial ( in english this time ) to get a working bootsplash: http://bulmalug.net/body.phtml?nIdNoticia=1812
