   This thingy called 'bootsplash'. Forcing it to work is not a trivial task.
   You need to patch kernel etc. How-to from ArchLinux you can find here:
   https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Category:Bootsplash
   Arch differs with SliTaz, but I think there is a close direction. You can find SliTaz packages in http://pkgs.slitaz.org and you can find other linuxes' packages in http://pkgs.org and can try to convert it to SliTaz packages with 'tazpkg convert ...'

   Actually it's simpler than that Aleksej. SliTaz 4 has a package called slitaz-fbsplash which can do this. It should be enabled by default once you installed the package, so it should show up at next reboot.

   Er, don't. Seems it's broken and using it will keep SliTaz from booting...

   fbsplash still not working? OK, I undid FBSPLASH="no" in /etc/rcS.conf using rescue OS, and now I seem to have quiet boot. are there any other simple alternatives, plymouth may be?
