Description

install-bootsplash-acritox.sh automatically installs a bootsplash. It works with latest Kanotix (2005-04 and newer)!

for those people who don't even know what a boosplash is ;-)

Installation/Usage

Do the following as root:

su (password) cd /usr/local/bin wget -N http://www.andreas-loibl.de/linux/scripte/install-bootsplash-acritox/install-bootsplash-acritox.sh chmod +x install-bootsplash-acritox.sh install-bootsplash-acritox.sh Then the bootsplash (default-theme: Kanotix) will be installed with default-settings (adapted for Kanotix). The bootsplash-resolution will be set to 1024x786 (default), if you wish to change this do the following:

su
(password)
dpkg-reconfigure bootsplash
(answer all questions with the default value, just change the desired resolution)
install-bootsplash-acritox.sh

After that you can test your new bootplash by rebooting. If everything works well you could also install other bootsplash-themes:

su
(password)
apt-get install bootsplash-theme-THEMENAME
(e.g. bootsplash-theme-debian-tux)
dpkg-reconfigure bootsplash
(select the desired theme and answer all the other questions with the default value)
install-bootsplash-acritox.sh

Do a reboot and the new one should be used.

If you are looking for themes, here you find screenshots of all available bootsplash-themes: http://www.bootsplash.de/files/themes/screenshots/

Uninstallation

Do the following as root:

Note: The script doesn't warn you, it removes the bootsplash and all the installed themes directly. So think before you type ;-)

su
(password)
install-bootsplash-acritox.sh uninstall
# if you want to remove the script itself:
rm /usr/local/bin/install-bootsplash-acritox.sh
