boot splash screen

[crash3m at trelane.net]

where did you get these instructions?  Out of curiosity I ran 'urpmi
bootsplash' to install it and it said nothing like that... reviewing
/etc/lilo.conf it doesnt appear to have changed anything vga still =
normal here (which I set)  I ran urpmf bootsplash to see which files it
installs to check for images and configuration.  

bootsplash:/bin/fbresolution
bootsplash:/bin/progress
bootsplash:/etc/bootsplash/themes/Mandrake/cfg
bootsplash:/etc/bootsplash/themes/Mandrake/cfg/bootsplash-1024x768.cfg
bootsplash:/etc/bootsplash/themes/Mandrake/cfg/bootsplash-1280x1024.cfg
bootsplash:/etc/bootsplash/themes/Mandrake/cfg/bootsplash-800x600.cfg
bootsplash:/etc/bootsplash/themes/Mandrake/global.config
bootsplash:/etc/sysconfig/bootsplash
bootsplash:/usr/share/bootsplash/scripts

One of the files of
interest was  /etc/sysconfig/bootsplash  which is where the mkinitrd
will look to pick the image up.

SPLASH=auto
THEME=Mandrake
LOGO_CONSOLE=theme
