I had splashy on my own top do list for a while, but not had a chance
to attempt it!

In terms of re-branding its is really nice, heck anything that uses
xml must fit in to morphix.

In order to install Splashy in your own custom distribution or variant
of UNIX system, you would need to:

Quote:-
1. tell the system to start "/sbin/splashy boot" as early as possible
2. some "glue" to calculate the progressbar and update it using:
splashy_update "progress NN"
3. you will need to exit Splashy at some point with: splashy_update exit
