Install nice Bootscreen for Debian

1.) Install Splashy

In Debian you can simple Install Splashy with the following commands:
...
apt-get install bootsplash
apt-get install bootsplash-theme-debian
...

2.) Update your Initrd Image
...
update-initramfs -u -k

3.) Add Bootparameters to your grub configuration

You need to add theParameters "vga=791 splash" to the grub menu.lst that the Bootscreen show up.

Example Entry:
