I installed the DL09 ROM so now I dont have a boot animation and Ive been looking at tutorials and everything to put one onto my phone but they just dont work. I tried this one

HOW TO: Change bootup/shutdown animations and sounds - Android Forums

It tells you to put it in the /data/local folder but when I go into data there isnt a folder named local so I tried making one and putting the bootanimation.zip into it but still nothing.

Anyone know whatsup?

have you tried doing it through Rom Manager? also what kernel are you using?
I'm assuming you're rooted, place your bootanimation.zip file in data/local using Root Explorer.

As far as I'm aware, the bootanimation.zip needs to go into system/media And the shutdown animation frames need to go into system/media/video (and there might be a shutdown folder inside there)

Ahh nice! I bought root explorer, moved the boot animation to the folder and was able to uninstall it for a refund! Thanks a lot
