You can also set it to automatically use a different image, pretty cool. The only thing missing it the ability to make it actually show *progress*... Eh well. Oh, to answer my own question:

What about customizing the animation? I'm more interested in that, since it could make it nicer (i'm not a fan of the default animation, xubuntu's is much cooler, imo). Also, that should be "sudo cp -r /usr/share/images/xsplash /usr/share/images/xsplash.bk", since it's a directory (doesn't work for me without it). Cool post!
