how to make a custom boot up splash animation?
When I boot up my computer it displays a splash animation: the word "Ubuntu" with dots underneath indicating that the system is loading. I'd like to remove the word "Ubuntu" and keep the dots. I don't want to disable or remove the splash screen.
I like Ubuntu - I even like Unity :D - I'd just prefer a debranded look.
Is this possible? Answers applicable to both 11.04 and 11.10 preferred.
