That's still being debated on cooker occasionally. It's a pain in the assets, but I have learnt to ignore it. > 3.

Hot plugging removable media seems to still have a few bumps Kaj. I'm not sure but I'll see what I can see tomorrow when I'm scheduled to update a system to 9.2.

You can change the theme by using: sh switch-themes <nameoftheme> to pick a new one from the available sets. Available theme names are listed by sh switch-themes -l to see what's currently being used: sh switch-themes -c as super user in the /usr/share/bootsplash/scripts directory. I suppose you could add it to your path so you wouldn't have to cd to that directory but I don't think it's something many people will do very often anyway. Back to the salt mine!
