And install it with dpkg -i splashy_0.1.5_i386.deb , there shouldn't be any dependencies.
Splashy works/looks better at 1024x768, so make sure you add vga=791 to your kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst
Here is mine:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-1-k7 root=/dev/hda1 ro vga=791 quiet
To customize, simply replace the file /etc/splashy/themes/default/background.jpg with your own 1024x768 jpg. There are some settings you can change in /etc/splashy/config.xml. You can change the location of the progress bar and it color/size among other things.
Try it out, it's fun

Hi Yanik,
Do you know if I can write any text on the image that comes up as a boot splash screen? I checked the confog.xml file and I could not find any setting for writing text on the image.
Do I have to created an image with the desired text on it as a layer in photoshop or something like that?
