Argh, now that I actually read the first article rather than just skim the subtitles, I see it's mostly not what we want. A lot of it is focused on Debian Plymouth, which isn't installed in Raspbian lite. It looks like the RetroPie solution is based on Plymouth too.

I'm not convinced we need the excess baggage but I can't prove it yet.
This'll take a bit of head scratching...aided perhaps by a glass of wine (a fresh delivery came today, yay!).

Quote:Plymouth presents a graphic animation (also known as bootsplash) while the boot process is occurring in the background. It is designed to be used with the Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) modesetting drivers. For systems that don't have DRM mode settings drivers, plymouth falls back to text mode - it can also use a legacy /dev/fb interface using a variation of these instructions (yet to be added).
