can i remove plymouthd? [SOLVED]

[abstract]

happy thanksgiving (weekend) everyone,
so yeah, i don't even have plymouth installed, and a file search for anything named 'plymouth' comes up zero (synaptic search also zero). it eats a little cpu too, so i'd love to lose it. i can kill it with "gksu lxtask' (it's a root thing), but it's back every reboot.
any ideas?
thanks

this is a 64 bit install your discussing and not yet supported here ... please take all 64bit lxde install problems to the testing section at http://groups.google.com/group/pclinuxos-testers?msg=pending&pli=1

do not know if Neal has mentioned my fix for this problem yet ..

thanks for the quick reply scoundrel,
i'm pretty sure my pclos install was from a regular lxde-mini cd, and regular 32bit too.
now i'm really confused -

Do you have splash=verbose rather than splash=silent set in your /boot/grub/menu.list?

splash=silent

is the "gfxmenu" suspect?

     
No. Why would it be?      

Change splash=silent to splash=verbose to stop the plymouthd message.

thanks Neal!
yeah, i only guessed about gfxmenu because it sounded like a graphic boot as apposed to text - ha ha, dead wrong! i only learn by messin' up, and god knows i do a lot of that.
thanks again
