1 Hi, All
2
3 I'm about to launch an embeded product runing Gentoo Linux. Everything
4 is working perfectly now, but I really would like to have a faster boot.

6 As this computer will not have upgrades, at least not as usual as a
7 common desktop, I think that the cold/hotplug could be replaced by
8 something else, although I plan to use an external USB disk on maintenance.

10 Another little detail: I have already seen that the Knoppix CD starts
11 with a lo-res bitmap while starting its services and probably detecting
12 the hardware and then it changes to a full-res version of the same image
13 when it is starting KDE. How can I do that? I have almost done that
14 with the frame buffer bootup image and just after starting X the first
15 task is to change the background image to a copy of that used on the
16 boot sequence, but still there is a gap where one can see the X'
17 checkered background.

19 Any sugestions?

21 Thanks a lot
