moosplash installation howto

Follow the instructions below to download and install moosplash, a cowsay inspired USplash theme:

1. Open a terminal and download the deb package from my PPA on Launchpad. Note: see the builds directory for the correct package for your architecture:

wget http://ppa.launchpad.net/corenominal/ubuntu/pool/main/m/moosplash/moosplash_0.01_i386.deb

2. Install the package using gdebi:

sudo gdebi moosplash_0.01_i386.deb

3. Install and run startupmanager:

sudo apt-get install startupmanager && gksudo startupmanager

4. Once startupmanager is running, select the "Appearance" tab and then select "moosplash" from the Usplash theme selector. See image below:

5. Click the "Close" button and reboot. Moooooo!
