splashy and lilo

Hi I was just looking at the wiki about configuring splashy and it only mentions what to put in the grub config file but I use lilo and wanted to know what I would need to add to lilo.conf?    I'm assuming it would be similar to what you would use for any of the other bootsplash programs, but I wanted to make sure before I went and screwed up the boot process

Re: splashy and lilo

Hi

I'm also one of those (few?) that still stick to lilo....
Here's what you have to add to lilo.conf in order to get splashy to work:

append="quiet splashy"

If you already have an 'append' line, just add 'quiet' and 'splashy' to the existing parameters. Order should not matter

Re: splashy and lilo

Use:

quiet vga=791 splash

Take note, it's splash and not splashy as lupylucke said.

Re: splashy and lilo

djclue917: according to documentation, you're right. 'splashy' seems to work as well (at least for me), don't ask me why...
