there is no problem with plymouth on systems that do not have a display attached. on systems that only support text modes, the text plugin is used (package plymouth with ~100kb size, installed size ~500kb; depends on libc and initramfs-tools only). on systems that support graphical output, a graphical theme can be used (requires package plymouth-drm with ~500kb size, installed size ~800kb; depends on cairo, libdrm, libglib, libkms, pango, libpng, fontconfig and ttf-dejavu-core). on systems that support graphical output but are incompatible (i.e. when the installed version of the kernel/libdrm doesn't support bleeding edge nvidia or ati cards yet), plymouth falls back to the text plugin automatically. NB: most of the plymouth-drm depends are already included in the default amd64/i386 desktop package selections and the plymouth 'debian' theme is part of the monolithic desktop-base package. -- Address: Daniel Baumann, Donnerbuehlweg 3, CH-3012 Bern Email: daniel.baum...@progress-technologies.net Internet: http://people.progress-technologies.net/~daniel.baumann/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
