Can I just ask why there are so many Ubuntu users wanting to use this Arch bootsplash. I mean like 70% of the content on this site seems to be dedicated to Ubuntu...why not use something from the distro you are running. I mean thats the point to me
Plymouth is a bootsplash for Linux supporting animations using Direct Rendering Manager and KMS driver. It gets packed into the initrd. Besides eye-candy, Plymouth also handles user interaction during boot. Wikipedia
Installation instructions:
copy YOURTHEME folder to usr/share/plymouth/themes/YOURTHEME

Nice, but how do you install it? I'm running Ubuntu Feisty Fawn.
Read the INSTALL File in the Tarball :)
The INSTALL file is about as useful as a fart in an elevator. 4 lines? come on...
I'm no expert but I don't think that you can since Ubuntu uses usplash and this needs fbsplash... I'm no expert though!
Really good. I love it.
