i want animations too =P
the creator of bootsplash has put up a website recently. http://bootsplash.org , he says they will be putting documentation and such on there shortly. There is also a new version (3.x) of the kernel patch which has a patch for vanilla kernel 2.4.20. I have modified this patch to work with vanilla-kernel 2.4.18. If you would like this patch you can get it here: http://142.232.66.118/kernel/linux/f...-vanilla.patch . I am also interested in getting the animations to work, if any one could provide documentation on how to do this it would be of help.
Getting bootsplash to work with the kernel patch.
Step 1: patch kernel
Step 2: add `"CONFIG_FBCON_SPLASHSCREEN" is Y' to kernel cfg
Step 3: recompile kernel
Step 4: create a bootsplash.cfg with a jpeg and such
Step 5: download and compile splashutils
Step 6: run `./splash -s -f $cfgname >> $ramdisk'
// where $ramdisk is your initrd or what ever
Step 7: add `initrd=$ramdisk vga=$rez' to kernel append line
//where $rez is 788 for 800x600 or whatnot
that should do it. I've never used knoppix so i dont know if this is of any help but i thought i should post.

Would there be any disadvantage if Klaus Knopper applied this patch to the official Knoppix Kernel? He still could have the splash disabled *by default*, but it would allow us to burn custom CDs with bootsplash without remastering. So, are there any disadvantages?
