Boot splash how to by Mzilikazi
From kanotix forum, written by Mzilikazi:
You can patch and rebuild your kernel with a patch from here:
http://bootsplash.de/
More info on bootsplash can be found here:
http://bootsplash.org
or get Kano's latest 2.6.7 kernel as it is already patched.
http://kanotix.com/files/kernel/kern....7-kanotix.zip
echo "deb
http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update && apt-get install sysv-rc-bootsplash bootsplash kernel-patch-bootsplash bootsplash-theme-debian-tux
When you configure bootsplash selcet 'none'
Allow bootsplash to configure startup scripts? 'YES'
Edit your boot loader.
A grub example:
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.7-kanotix root=/dev/hda1 ro splash=silent vga=791
initrd /boot/initrd.splash
savedefault
boot
A lilo example:
image=/boot/vmlinuz
initrd=/boot/initrd.splash
append="splash=silent"
vga=791
New deb source I just tried it using kanotix kernel 2.6.8.1-kanotix-5.
At first I had problem of sysv-rc_2.86-5_all.deb and bootsplash_3.1-6_i386.deb unable to write to blah....blah.
Then I tried with:
dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/sysv-rc_2.86-5_all.deb
dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/bootsplash_3.1-6_i386.deb
apt-get -f install
Now it works. I have a nice bootsplash.
I wrote this so that others can try it too.
Thanks to Mzilikazi.

I am getting this error from apt-get:
Code:
Unpacking sysv-rc (from .../sysv-rc_2.86-5_all.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/sysv-rc_2.86-5_all.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/etc/init.d/rc', which is also in package sysvinit
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/sysv-rc_2.86-5_all.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Know any fix?
[Edit] I should have read what you write, you already give a fix

As mentioned above:
dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/sysv-rc_2.86-5_all.deb
dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/bootsplash_3.1-6_i386.deb
apt-get -f install
