usplash in home-made Linux
 

Hi!
I am experimenting on building a small Linux OS by my self, mainly by picking parts from a host OS (Ubuntu Desktop 6.06).
Everything has went quite well until now. I have come to the point where I want to hide the boot messages and show a nice splash screen instead.
I have begun by trying to change the splash image on my host OS, using the Ubuntu Community Docs tutorial on this (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/US...mizationHowto). This does not work at all.

My main question, though, is this.

Is it possible to use usplash in an environment where I configure everything by hand, not having Debian utilities at hand? The How-to referred to above refers to update-alternatives and other utilities, but I have to make everything manually.
...or is usplash something very specialized for Debian and Ubuntu, not intended for use in stripped-down server operating systems?

Regards,
Fredrik

maybe this will help

I know LFS is for custom builds, so googled for LFS bootsplash.
Bootsplash is also used in other distros apart from Ubuntu
