Plymouth alternative for PowerPC?

2011-05-18 Thread Alexander Lardner
Hello, Plymouth (bootsplash screen) is only available for i386, I'm on an old PowerPC iMac. Is there an alternative (squeeze)? If not, is it possible to just show a static image over the boot screen, kind of like FreeBSD? Thanks! -Alex

For your information: MintPPC is pure Debian. The only difference with plane Debian is the theme. Everything under the hood is exactly the same as Debian. Another small difference is the apt system, which has more features and the software update system. MintPPC immediately loads the right modules
