If your real issue is turning off bootsplash, just change the 'splash=silent' to
'splash=0'. Alternatively, maybe you want to just see all the boot messages all
the time, and you can use 'splash=verbose'.
If you really want to file a bug, file it on mandrake_theme, that it should not
require bootsplash. But, since Mandrake wants to have bootsplash by default, I
don't think it will be confirmed as a bug (since it's probably a feature
considering it was intentionally added).
You could also make your own package which provides mandrake_theme, but does not
require bootsplash (if this is for a larger installation).
Either way, installation is doing the right thing according to the rpm dependencies.

description:
Well it can be unmarked but the warning follows that almost all KDE, Gnome etc. is
going to be
excluded from installation as well. "The following packages are going to be removed"
list is much
longer than warning window can show (BTW this warning window is not scrollable, as
anyone
can see trying to unmark bootsplash, so you even canot see what else is NOT going to
be
installed... ;-)
You might understand that not everyone wants to close boot screen text messages with
some
much less informative "bootsplash". If somebody wants to partially blind himself,
that's OK for
him... I don't want to. For me the easiest way NOT to see this bootsplash at all has
been in 9.1
simply to not install it. Unmark during the installation. Now with 9.2 it seems
impossible because
simple unmarking of bootsplash in Graphical Environment -> KDE Workstation ->
bootsplash
seems to imply mandatory unmarking whole graphical interface set with it. Something is
wrong
with this. I want to get rid of bootsplash but still use KDE and whole lot of Graphic.
