You can also add the "regular way" to setup a usplash theme to your howto:
[/b]
Code:
sudo apt-get install usplash-theme-xbmc-*
sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so
sudo update-initramfs -u

NVIDIA Driver installation -generation of a xorg.conf file:
Code:
sudo nvidia-xconfig -s --no-logo --force-generate

Check available resolutions for upsplash (after graphicdriver installation):
Code:
sudo apt-get install hwinfo
hwinfo --framebuffer

And i would suggest to follow the "testing of the xserver" section before adding autostart and autologin
like done here:

another tip for beginners would be to install mc:

sudo apt-get install mc
Midnight Commander is a text-mode full-screen file manager and included editor.
