You need to follow these steps to install Splashy:
您需要通过下列步骤安装Splashy：
For ubuntu hoary/warty or debian Sid:
对于ubuntu hoary/warty或debian Sid而言：
* download Splashy (http://kalatlug.nanofreesoft.org/Projects/splashy/relases/splashy_0.1-5_i386.deb), then download the libraries: libsirectfb-0.9-22 (http://kalatlug.nanofreesoft.org/Projects/splashy/libraries/libdirectfb/libdirectfb-0.9-22_0.9.22-1_i386.deb) and lib++dfb-0.9-22 (http://kalatlug.nanofreesoft.org/Projects/splashy/libraries/lib++dfb/lib++dfb-0.9-22_0.9.22-1_i386.deb). You have downloaded 3 packages now.
* 下载Splashy (http://kalatlug.nanofreesoft.org/Projects/splashy/relases/splashy_0.1-5_i386.deb), 然后下载libsirectfb-0.9-22库文件包(http: //kalatlug.nanofreesoft.org/Projects/splashy/libraries/libdirectfb/libdirectfb-0.9-22_0.9.22-1_i386.deb) 和lib++dfb-0.9-22库文件包

FAQ
[edit]
At about 70-80% of bootin process Splashy goes to verbose mode and shows:
在70-80%的引导进程中，Splashy会进入详细模式，并显示下列信息：
t_kernel_font: Invalid Argument
It's a bug related with the /etc/init.d/console-screen.sh file that does not set the font for framebuffer properly, this bug is unsolved but you can circumnavigate it editing the config.xml at set "autoverboseonerror" to "no"
这是一个Bug，它同/etc/init.d/console-screen.sh脚本文件没有为帧缓冲设置合适的字体有关，该Bug尚未解决，但您可以通过编辑Config.xml文件，将其中的 "autoverboseonerror"设置成"no"来绕过它。
[edit]
I don't see any image at boot time:
我在引导时，没有看到任何图片：
Be sure that you have instaleld libdirectfb-0.9-22 and lib++dfb-0.9-22 and your /usr partition is in / and not on its own. Be sure that your /boot/grub/menu.lst in #nonaltoptions has vga=792, value bigger than 792 is no tested and it could not work. We are working to make Splashy run without any /usr/lib support (compile it statically). This is an unsolved problem.
确认您已经安装了libdirectfb-0.9-22 和 lib++dfb-0.9-22库文件，并且您的/usr分区是在/分区中而非独立分区。确认您的/boot/grub/menu.lst中的 #nonaltoptions项中vga=792，超过792的值并经测试也无法正常运行。我们正在努力使Splashy在没有任何/usr/lib支持（静态编译）的情况下正常运行，该问题尚未解决。

How i think about bootsplash (debsplash group idea about usplash)
我是怎样考虑boot splash的（debsplash小组开发usplash的思路）
Second me, a bootsplash different from other should be a bootsplash that works in user mode so i try to develop something that doesn't need to change something in lilo or grub bootloaders and will be 100% init compatible (not touch rc or rcS files as Usplash specification on ubuntu wiki says) As my test confirm it is possible (the main idea, we need still change something to the bootloader). Let me explain how does it work:
boot splash与其他的不同在于它是工作在用户模式下的，我试着去开发一个不需要对lilo或grub引导器进行修改的软件，并且保持对init的100% 兼容（象ubuntu的wiki中对Usplash说明所说的那样不涉及rc或rcS文件）。我的测试验证了它是可行性（主要思路，我们仍然需要修改引导器），让我来说明它是怎样工作的：
* Bootloader starts as normal startup, it sets the framebuffer with the vga=value argument and calls init. Thanks to a smart postinst script the best value to set the framebuffer is done at install time and removed in the unistall sequence.
* 引导器开始正常引导，它设置帧缓冲（vga=值）并调用init。感谢智能postinst脚本能在安装时为帧缓冲自动设置最恰当的值并在卸载工序中删除它。
* Init is called as default (no inittab modification and/or /etc/init.d/rc patch!) the first script that is executed is the S01splashy, that script starts /sbin/splashy in background (that is mounted for first before init).
* init被缺省调用（这里没有修改inittab也没有打/或/etc/init.d/rc补丁）第一个被执行的脚本是S01 splashy，该脚本使得/sbin/splashy在后台运行（在init前被首先挂载）
* Splashy draw a image (that is set by the cml configuration file) fast as possible and read the terminal as a human eye does (Note that is one of the best issue of that approach).
* Splashy尽可能快的显示图片（该图片在cml配置文件中设置）并象人眼所做的那样阅读终端（注意研究显示这是一种最佳方式）（这里也觉得有点别扭，有请高手）
* Splashy upgrades the framebuffer progressbar and makes animations until gdm/xdm is called.
* Splashy 动态更新帧缓冲进度条，直到gdm/xdm被调用。
* When X is called the /dev/tty7 is initialized and the console is switched to it. Splashy, not linked to any console (you are switched to tty7) died 7 seconds after.
* 当X被调用，/dev/tty7初始完成并从控制台切换过来时，Splashy不再链接任何控制台（你已经切换到tty7了），七秒后关闭自身。
So the boot process is completed.
引导过程完成
At shutdown time the process is quite the same:
关闭过程也是一样：
* Splashy is called soon as possbile and it draws a image that replace the text based shutdown process
* Splashy被尽可能快的调用，然后显示图片以替代基于文本的关闭过程
[edit]
Considerations
论述
As You could say, this approach permits to be 100% init compatible and usermode (no ugly initrd/initramfs or patches) and mainly it works like an eye, that looks into the terminal (input) and elaborates these informations (output); this means:
如您所言，该程序允许工作在用户模式下且100%兼容init（没有讨厌的initrd/initramfs或补丁）同时运行起来就象一个注视着终端的眼睛（输入）并对这些信息进行详细说明（输出）；这就意味着：
* We can implement everything (animations at certain service and fsck support) without the need to patch anything because we just read the screen!
* 我们能够实现任何东西（对某个服务的动画及fsck的支持）而无需对它们打补丁，因为我们仅仅只是在看屏幕！
* No awful little programs that work like servers and notifiers (that they are closed in their range of input), this means that we use less resources.
* 没有那些可怕的象服务器和通知（它们在它们的输入范围内被关闭）这样的小程序，这就意味着我们使用更少的资源。
* If something goes wrong your system is always bootable, we don't change initramfs or anything, Splashy is just a program.
* 如果有什么地方出错，您的系统也总是可以引导起来，我们并不修改initramfs或其它任何东西，Splashy只是一个程序。
