You can use : deb http://www.bootsplash.de/files/debian unstable main
but ther is no development upstream so it cannot be included in debian. gensplash is the version produced by the developper that upgraded bootslpash for each kernel since 2003. This is a better implementation though ther is not yet debian packages for it. If you feel geeky , http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/gensplash/ http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/gensplash/archive/gensplash-in-5-easy-steps.txt http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=206778%26postdays=0%26postorder=asc%26start=100 http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_fbsplash http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=206778%26postdays=0%26postorder=asc%26start=216 http://www.bootsplash.de/files/debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/sysv-rc-bootsplash/ http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Framebuffer:Bootsplash:Grubsplash also hibernate for swsusp has experimental support for gensplash. You should also not that lpp (linux progress patch) is in debian. packages.debian.org/stable/devel/kernel-patch-lpp It is for 2.4 and 2.2. But abandonned by upstream for the same reasons as bootsplash . You nearly had to rewrite it all for each new kernel version. a new project based on it for 2.6 kernels ; http://foofighterer.fo.funpic.de/download.php also abandonned by upstream and only maintained by a new developper. Gensplash is the only one which is easy to maintain. RH replacing its own graphic boot loader for gensplash in feodora. That seems the only actively developped project and easy to maintain. There is hope fo it to be integrated upstream as it does not clutter require hooks everywher in the kernel as the other do. the old known : "Make it simple stupid". So debian bootsplash is not new, only sleeping until a something stable comes up. My hope is that nobody loose time patching bootsplash and instead port the gensplash init scripts to debian and other distros (so we could share hundreds of themes :) work is under way: http://lists.debian.org/debian-desktop/2004/09/msg00022.html http://www.uni-koblenz.de/~dbildh/Linux_On_TM4001/#fbsplash http://home.arcor.de/helmut.schlattl/gensplash/install.en.html Cheers Alban -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
