*This is how I hav installed it in debian ..
*
1 - In order to install this theme, you should have Usplash well configured
and installed. If you don't please try
sudo apt-get install usplash
2- You also need a booting screen resolution of 1024x768 and, if needed, to
allow booting information to be shown. To set it, please open your grub
configuration file
sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
find the paragraph about your current kernel version, and add the string
vga=791
at the end of the kernel section, without modifying pre-existing values.
Also delete (if present) the string
quiet
For example if this is your current configuration
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.17-10-generic
root (hd0,4)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-10-generic root=/dev/hda5 ro quiet
splash locale=en_EN
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-10-generic
boot
you should modify this line
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-10-generic root=/dev/hda5 ro quiet
splash locale=en_EN
which will become
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-10-generic root=/dev/hda5 ro splash
locale=en_EN vga=791
INSTALLATION
Now that everything is well set, we'll install the new theme. Fisrt of all
copy the file contained in this directory, named 'usplash-theme-comptus.so'
insto your Desktop. Now open a terminal and digit
cd
cd Desktop
sudo cp usplash-theme-comptus.so /usr/lib/usplash
sudo update-alternatives --install
/usr/lib/usplash/usplash-artwork.so usplash-artwork.so
/usr/lib/usplash/usplash-theme-comptus.so 10
sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so
And choose the righ value (write the number displayed near the file called
'usplash-theme-comptus.so' then press Return to confirm)
Now update your system booting process by digiting in terminal
sudo update-initramfs -u
CHECK
IMPORTANT: preview will only run if you modified your grub configuration and
then rebooted! If you didn't this won't work!
If you want to check the installation before rebooting please write in a
terminal
sudo usplash -c
Then to come back to the gnome desktop
ctrl+alt+F7
