Re: [Cooker] Bootsplash dependencies

[bgmilne]

 With previous releases of Mandrake, I've always deselected the
 bootsplash package during install.

 With 9.2 RC2, that's impossible, as bootsplash is required by a long
 list of packages, including icewm, galeon, gedit and evolution.

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. But, the idea was that there could be
more then one package providing mandrake_theme.

 (In other words, is it safe to do a rpm -e --nodeps botsplash after
 the install?)

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.
