[Splashy-users] Issue with Splashy install on Lenny - resolved - hope this helps others

[Kushal Koolwal]

And how do you use splashy from initramfs? Do we have to make any changes to the default setting of splashy once we installed it?

Also I am not using initrd image during boot. Not sure if that has to do anything with initramfs.

Please advice.
