[Splashy-users] installation problem

[Luis M]

Hello Kangja,

Sorry that I've taken so long to reply to this message.

That information is available in our wiki page:

http://splashy.alioth.debian.org/wiki/doku.php?id=faq#i_don_t_see_any_image_at_boot_time

Essentially you nee to set:

vga=791

in lilo.conf (but NOT in the append= section).

hope that helps.
