gensplash - GeCHI theme
Posted: Sun Sep 05, 2004 8:03 pm
Salve a tutti
Rendo a disposizione il tema appena finito per gensplash a tutti i GeCHI!
L'immagine non è particolarmente nuova... si provvederà presto anche a questa "carenza"
Update:
Download from url [4,24 MB]:
http://www.smartart.it/works/gentoo/fbs ... me.tar.bz2
pm me if you want the source xcf images
copy the archive in /etc/splash
uncompress the dir
modifing the default symlink pointing to the theme you want to use can be an hazard: the new splashutils may change the symlink pointing to your theme
mount /boot dir and get the initrd image
don't forget to change <your-res> to your resolution
i.e. if you have 1024x768, you should write:
Modify the boot string (in grub or lilo, accordingly)
GRUB
if you use the vesa-ng
if you use the vesa
LILO
if you use the vesa-ng
if you use the vesa
If you prefer you can also "disable" the silent mode for verbose, obviously writing verbose instead of silent in the code above.
finally you can extend the fbsplash images to all 6 tty adding splash to default runlevel this this way:
that's all..
