Subsection 2. and 4. are important. the rest is i think included in the bootsplash ebuild. only the scripts which make it possible to run a progress bar on a silent bootsplash are written for suse so they must be ported. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
`emerge media-gfx/bootsplash`
the scripts are currently being worked on for the progressbar
I'm a little unclear as to what the last comment means, so could someone confirm: "The progress bar during kernel booting does not currently work under Gentoo, but a script is being written so that it will." True/false?
