Jerry,
Thanks for the example theme. The first thing I had to do to test this 
out was to fix the path in paw.plymouth to point at /lib/plymouth 
instead of /usr/share/plymouth...with that being done I did:

update-alternatives --install /lib/plymouth/themes/text.plymouth 
text.plymouth /lib/plymouth/themes/paw/paw.plymouth 100
update-alternative --config text.plymouth
update-initramfs -u
reboot

The exact error message I received when rebooting was:
"could not start boot splash: Success"

which resulted in no splash screen being displayed. My kernel command 
line is:
"ro quiet splash nomodeset vga=792"

Any suggestions???

Thanks,
   Chris
