How to install a different Bootsplash? [solved]

[linuxrush]

Hi guys,

 

I went on a little adventure yesterday.... tried to install my first bootsplash, however I failed miserably: https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=37292

 

I followed the HOWTO guide found here: http://qa.mandriva.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/BootSplashHowTo

 

But that did not work.

 

So my question is, what is the correct way to install a bootsplash?

 

By Bootsplash, I am talking about the screen that hides the background information while loading.

I am specifically trying to install this bootsplash: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=29662

 

Please let me know how can I go about doing this.

 

Thank you,

By running

drakboot --splash

you are able to change between installed splash-themes.

 

There is also a package with different themes: bootsplash-themes

Once again, thank you Mhn.

 

Very helpful. Just what I was looking for. However, the bootsplash i want is not in the drop down list... I will need to investigate on this.

 

Thanks once again,
