bootsplash

[Fred]

Hello all

I am trying to get bootsplash working.
I patched the kernel with
http://www.bootsplash.de/files/bootsplash-3.1.4-sp3-2.6.8.1.diff,
recompiled and I am running it now.
I also added 'deb http://www.bootsplash.de/files/debian unstable main',
since the 'deb http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib
non-free' is not working (404 not found)

apt-get update
apt-get install bootsplash -> gives this error... any idea? anyone done
it?

ubunchap:/boot# apt-get install bootsplash
