Hello list-mates,

Currently, if you uninstall bootsplash from your system, you'd see the 
boosplash image when you boot up/shutdown your computer. Is it a good idea to 
run mkinitrd in %postun so that you get no bootsplash image after uninstalling 
it? I think it makes sense.

%postun
 %{insserv_cleanup}
 /sbin/mkinitrd_setup
+if test -s /etc/sysconfig/bootloader ; then
+/sbin/mkinitrd
+fi

Furthermore, some people have reported that they get no bootsplash after a KDE 
install from the 11.4 Net ISO. Besides this, I have added support for more 
resolutions. So, I was also thinking about running mkinitrd in % post to make 
sure they get a bootsplash image

%post 
 %{fillup_only -ns bootsplash branding-openSUSE }
 perl -pi -e 's/^(THEME=).*/$1"openSUSE"/' /etc/sysconfig/bootsplash
+if test -s /etc/sysconfig/bootloader ; then 
+/sbin/mkinitrd
+fi

What I don't want is users suffering due to lots of mkinitrds. How probable 
would having updates/installs that run mknitrd several times be?

Greetings,
