ok here are instructions for the bootsplash:, this applies to all of the suse 8.1 bootsplashes:
1) unpack the .tar.bz2 file
2) copy the folder into /usr/share/splash/themes/
3) change /etc/sysconfig/bootsplash to use the theme. This is how
Where it says THEME="themename" change themename or whatever it is to the name of the folder of the theme you want to use (for this one it is "Dragon800x600" )
4)run the follow ing commands as root:
firstly, SuSEconfig --module bootsplash
and then, mk_initrd
So, for this particular theme:(terminal commands marked by a preceding > )
1) >bunzip2 Dragon800x600.tar.bz2
2) >tar -xf Dragon800x600.tar
3) >su root
4) (type your root password)
5) >cp -r Dragon800x600 /usr/share/splash/themes
6) >mcedit /etc/sysconfig/bootsplash
7) in mcedit, replae the themename in the speech marks with Dragon800x600, so the line reads :
THEME="Dragon800x600"
8) quit mcedit
9) >SuSEconfig --module bootsplash
10) >mk_initrd
the screenshot thumbnail doesnt look much like the actual splash; it's all muddy ewwww so dont judge it by the thumbnail. Look at the actual screenie :D:D:D
