> 09_slax.mo (Slax Stuff)

Nice idea. I've to take a look how much work this kind of splitting
would be and how to realize it.

If the bootsplash is something we could implement in grml itself I
would adjust lsb-/init-functions of course in grml-packages itself.

Of course! Please upload the movie and post the URL! :)
