I'm PXE booting TC 5.2 and I added plymouth-initrd.gz in to PXE boot.
I took plymouth-initrd from the tinycore wiki.
TC boots okay and Plymouth splash is working okay, I can see tinycore logo and rotating element just fine.
But I would like to show some text in the graphical splash (not in the text mode), mainly about the state of the PXE boot when loading TCZ't over http:
"loading package 4/37" or "25% of the TCZ's loaded" etc.
Plymouthd is started from /etc/init.d/rcS like in the example in the wiki.
To show text, I added some stuff to tc-config, such as:
/bin/plymouth display-message --text="testing 123"
or
/bin/plymouth plymouth update --status="testing 321"
but those had no affect at all.
Does anyone know how to display messages in plymouth or any examples regarding the messages?
I found one but don't know is that can be implemented in the initrd from wiki:
