Hi Israel and all toriosadores,

That gives me the nice plymouth graphics at shutdown. To get it also at
boot, you can run the following commands from

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1462765

sudo -s
echo FRAMEBUFFER=y > /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash
update-initramfs -u
exit  # exit from superuser privileges

I'm not sure that is works in all computers, but it works for me now and
it worked for many but not all people posting in that ubuntuforums thread.

@ Israel: You can do this in the installed system before making the tarball.

@ all toriosadores: Please try this in your computer and in VirtualBox
and report your result!

Best regards
Nio
