Add patch for kernel 2.6.10-rc2-bk7 (work ok with rc3)

Add new theme, image found to http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=18460



INSTALLATION TO SLACKWARE (ONLY VERBOSE MODE IS TRUE (for now)) PLEASE I USE 1280X1024 AND ALL THIS INFO IS BASED UP THIS, IN CASE YOU USE OTHER RESOLUTION HAVE TO MODIFY:

1) /etc/bootsplash/pcxz/1280x1024.cfg

2) all images at /etc/bootsplash/pcxz/images/

3) OR ADD NEW THEME :-)

Step 1

1) installpkg package

1a) patch kernel, cd /usr/src/linux ; patch -p1 < fbsplash-YOUR_KERNEL_PATCH.patch

1b) make menuconfig or make xconfig go to graphics section and activate fbsplash (last option) see image.

2) execute " splash_geninitramfs -v -g /boot/fbsplash-1280x1024 -r 1280x1024 pcxz "

3) modify /etc/lilo.conf :

append="splash=verbose,theme:pcxz"

initrd=/boot/fbsplash-1280x1024



4) run lilo

OK IT'S ALL!!!
