Ok, sorry for the delay. Here is the requested info.
This piece in the README:
================================================================
* (Recommended) Manually /etc/inittab:
Add '-f /etc/issue.linuxlogo' to the getty lines in /etc/inittab for each
terminal that will display Linuxlogo at the login prompt. For an ASCII logo
use /etc/issue.linuxlogo.ascii. The line:
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
becomes:
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty -f /etc/issue.linuxlogo 38400 tty1
================================================================
should become instead:
* (Recommended) Manually change the inittab files:
** for systems with a classic /etc/inittab:
Add '-f /etc/issue.linuxlogo' to the getty lines in /etc/inittab for
each terminal that will display Linuxlogo at the login prompt. For an
ASCII logo use /etc/issue.linuxlogo.ascii. The line:
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
becomes:
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty -f /etc/issue.linuxlogo 38400 tty1
** for systems using upstart (like Ubuntu):
Add '-f /etc/issue.linuxlogo' to the getty line in each of the
/etc/event.d/tty* files for each terminal that will display Linuxlogo at
the login prompt. For an ASCII logo use /etc/issue.linuxlogo.ascii. For
example, in /etc/event.d/tty1 the line:
exec /sbin/getty 38400 tty1
becomes:
exec /sbin/getty -f /etc/issue.linuxlogo 38400 tty1
================================================================
One more thing: the init script should remove the target files
/etc/issue.linuxlogo* before creating them. The reason eis that some old
versions of linuxlogo created symlinks rather than the files themselves, and
the current version fails if it finds symlinks to nonexistent targets.
Precisely, these lines in /etc/init.d/linuxlogo:
"${DAEMON}" -f > /etc/issue.linuxlogo
"${DAEMON}" -a -f > /etc/issue.linuxlogo.ascii
should be preceded by
rm --force /etc/issue.linuxlogo /etc/issue.linuxlogo.ascii
