Added new bootsplash functionality based on splashy (this is only an example, s. snapshot.png):

Replace the original files with this one (bin + etc inside of initrd-stuff). run mkdxsinitrd or slxconfig-demuxer, add vga=791 (or another value) to your pxe-config.

This should run on any linux-system, I tested it only on SUSE10.2 and Debian4.0 though.

I'd like to replace the old bootsplash stuff with this one in the near future. I'd like to place it directly into the initrd-stuff directory, so it is baked in every time. The splash will be shown if vga is specified and the debuglevel is '0'. If you don't want the splash shown use a higher debuglevel or the command-line-option 'nosplash'. I'd like to take over this concept for the future releases.

What still needs to be done is to adapt mkdxsinitrd to this newfeature. Is the letter 't' (for theme) still free? Since '-s' (for splash) doesn't fit anymore.

Maybe it could be interesting to introduce a new variable in slxconfig for the slx-theme. So you could define the look, for example, of your PXE, splash and maybe KDM/GDM, with only one variable? What do you think?
