Description mattwoolf 2004-08-30 14:01:10 UTC

If /usr is not part of the root partition, /sbin/splash from splashutils cannot find fbset which is in /usr/bin because when it is first started, only the root partition is mounted.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. have /usr on a separate partition from /
2. install and configure splashutils and fbsplash
3. reboot the computer

Actual Results:  
/sbin/splash complains that it cannot find fbset and does not create a background

Expected Results:  
fbsplash should work correctly
