but I can still configure it:

Code:
root@someone:~# sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so

There are 3 alternatives which provide `usplash-artwork.so'.

  Selection    Alternative

*     1        /usr/lib/usplash/usplash-default.so
      2        /usr/lib/usplash/edubuntu-splash.so
 +    3        /usr/local/lib/usplash/minimalastic.so

Press enter to keep the default[*], or type selection number:
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

According to the output, you need a 2.6.17.11 linux kernel installed to install usplash-minimalistic. You can still configure it, but dpkg fails at the installation process.
