Basically that means that a boot time of <20s (to gdm) is definitely possible even on outdated hardware. My question is simply: How do they (the intel developers) reach that boot time without removing all those comfort services (udev etc.)? </pre> </blockquote> (1) its UEFI (2) rc stuff is parallelized (rc_parallel="YES") during the startup of the rc scripts (3) /boot lives on the solid state disk and root fs runs in ramdisk Brian </body> </html>
