First of all I want thank you for this great Live CD. Best one I know at the moment and I've used Many (slax, knoppix, whoppix, ....).

Good to hear :)

There is only one thing that I miss in german called Modularität *g* like Slax Distro.

What exactly are you missing? Or better: what do you want to do? :-)

Your Monitor Detections Script are the best I've ever seen. So now to my Problem:

I'm currently remastering grml v0.8 to use it as a VPN Remote Connect Boot CD. I've seen you allready made some script for using Splashscreen while booting.

/etc/init.d/splash.sh and /usr/bin/splash_grml.sh

And also you using runlevel.conf script instead of rc.d symlinks. But if I integrate the splash.sh Script I didnt see the Framebuffer Loading Screen. So could someone explain me how to install this usefull stuff, would be nice.

So what you want to get is a splash while booting the grml live-cd?

I wrote the splash-stuff basically just-for-fun a while ago and never announced it officially because grml boots faster than loading the framebuffer-powered splash. 8-)

You don't have to do anything on your own to use the splash feature, just boot using 'grml splash'. But you will notice that loading the splash stuff takes a while. The reason is that grml is running stuff in background and parallel as far as possible to minimize bootup time. Loading an image on plain console/framebuffer takes a while in userspace. :-/

Evaluating fbsplash (see http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/gensplash/) is on my todo list. If you have any ideas how to improve the splash feature please let me know.
