Actually, bootsplash is only required by mandrake_theme, which is required by mandrake_desk. > > Is the bootsplash requirement really necessary? For mandrake_theme to work, yes.

Yes, but otherwise you may prefer to look at some of the other themes in the bootsplash-themes package in contrib, or just add something like 'splash=0' to your bootloaders append line.
