$sudo  update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so

to select the deafult from the provided usplashes

then

$sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-`uname -r`
to put that selected image in the initramfs which is read by the kernel on
boot.

This is not as simple as dropping a png in a directory as all this happens
very early in the boot process
and the image needs to be there before the root partition is mounted.


i am using dapper 6.06. which brings me to another question, how do tell

cat /etc/issue is the simplest I know.
