Maybe # This enforces a specific brand to be used, in our case the angstrom # one. In case you want to change the logo or something like that we # suggest you to create another recipe (e.g: psplash-) for that # and add that into your image. # You can also opt to change or override this line, but that isn't # needed because psplash is using update-alternatives. regards, Koen
