| + | # Plymouth |
| + | |
| + | ===== plymouth ===== |
| + | |
| + | Plymouth is an application that runs very early in the boot process (even before the root filesystem is mounted!) that provides a graphical boot animation while the boot process happens in the background. |
| + | |
| + | you can install plymouth on slackware from [[https://slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0/system/plymouth/?search=plymouth|plymouth]] for which i use [[sbotools]] which is at [[https://slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0/system/sbotools/|sbotools]] |
| + | |
| + | once plymouth is installed |
| + | |
| + | edit /etc/dracut.conf.d/myflags.conf and add this line |
| + | <code>add_dracutmodules+=" plymouth "</code> |
| + | |
| + | edit your /etc/default/grub to include |
| + | <code>GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash"</code> |
