-Plymouth provides a flicker-free graphical boot process. It relies on
-kernel mode setting (KMS) to set the native resolution of the display as
-early as possible, then shows a splash screen leading up to the login
-manager.
-
-Installing this package is not enough to get a splash screen. Plymouth
-runs as a daemon started from the initrd, and Slackware's mkinitrd has
-no hook for it, so the wiring is manual:
-
-  1. Add "splash" to the kernel command line (and "quiet" for a silent
-     boot). With GRUB, edit GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in
-     /etc/default/grub and run grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
-
-  2. Copy plymouthd, the plymouth client, the renderers in
-     /usr/lib*/plymouth/renderers, the theme directory, /etc/plymouth,
-     and every library they link against into the initrd, then start
-     plymouthd from /init before the root filesystem is mounted.
-     Upstream ships /usr/libexec/plymouth/plymouth-populate-initrd, but
-     it assumes a dracut or initramfs-tools layout and needs adapting.
-
-  3. Nothing tears the splash down without systemd. Call
-     "plymouth quit --retain-splash" before the display manager starts,
-     or "plymouth quit" at the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.M for a console boot.
-
-On UEFI systems Plymouth uses the SimpleDRM driver by default to draw on
-the EFI framebuffer, so the GPU driver need not be in the initrd.
-Pass plymouth.use-simpledrm=0 to disable that. Note that with SimpleDRM
-secondary monitors stay dark during boot, which matters if an encryption
-passphrase prompt could land on one.
-
-Boot messages are shown by pressing Esc during boot, and are logged to
-/var/log/boot.log. Add plymouth.nolog to disable logging and console
-redirection, or plymouth.debug to write debug output to
-/var/log/plymouth-debug.log. If Plymouth prevents a successful boot,
-disable it with plymouth.enable=0 on the kernel command line.
-
-The theme is set in /etc/plymouth/plymouthd.conf, which this package
-installs empty for administrator overrides. Distribution defaults are in
-/usr/share/plymouth/plymouthd.defaults and select the "spinner" theme.
-Ten themes are shipped; list them with "plymouth-set-default-theme -l".
-The "bgrt" theme reuses the vendor logo the UEFI firmware already
-painted, if the firmware provides one.
-
-To preview the configured theme from a console without rebooting:
-
-  plymouthd; plymouth --show-splash; sleep 5; plymouth --quit
-
-Keep that as one chained command, the sleep is what returns control.
-
-The initrd must be repopulated after every kernel update, and after any
-theme change.
