X and Fluxbox :: bootsplash...again

Hi,

I think I've got a problem with bootsplash.
During boot instead of nice splash-picture , there is only little tux on top of the screen.
I patched the kernel, installed bootsplash (the way it is written at bootsplash.org), got AquaMatrix theme(copied image files to /usr/share/bootsplash/themes/AquaMatrix/images) and made initrd.splash (splash -sf /etc/bootsplash/themes/matrix/config/bootsplash-1024x768.cfg > /boot/initrd.splash)
Then I edited grub

Code Sample

title DSL with XFree86
kernel /boot/linux-24 root=/dev/hda4 splash=silent vga=791 initrd /boot/initrd.splash

Did I miss something ?

The penguin overrides bootsplash.. If it's on, the pic is off..

And that initrd is supposed to be on it's own line:

Yep. You are right once again

Now it works, but question:
What about that progress bar problem. I read here that progress bar doesn't work with DSL. Any news about that?

For progress bar you need to mess with the init files.. Someone said that 'cause it isn't possible on the Livecd now.

Add this to the end of "functions" (a file in /etc/init.d)

Quote

progressbar()
{

if [ $# != 1 ]
then
echo "Usage: progressbar {progress}"
exit 1
fi

echo "show $(( 65534 * $1 / 100 ))" > /proc/splash

}

Then see the order of init scripts (ls /etc/rcsysinit.d) they are numbered from 0 to 100. Obviously low number is used first, then higher. At the end of each script add

Quote

progressbar 40

Where 40 is the % of full bar..

hmmm...I have folders such as /etc/rc0.d , rc1.d etc..and then rcS.d.
But these are folders, so where to put that "progressbar"

P.S. In /etc/default/ I have file rcS - maybe you have talked about this one?
