Bootsplash is at best a pain, at worst impossible to install since it hasn't 
been maintained in ages and the patches are hopelessly out of date.

I suggest fbsplash instead. It works quite well and can import old bootsplash 
themes - not to mention that the splashutils make working with it a LOT 
simpler than bootsplash.
Not simple, but at least simpler.
