What about a bootchart? Is there one available? |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
My system is a normal stripped down gentoo install (for now). I'm |
| 4 |
making some scripts to make the build process automatic in a build |
| 5 |
host and create a tarball with it. My pc doesn't boot from cd-rom... |
| 6 |
:( (When i'm satisfied with the results i'll post an how-to at |
| 7 |
gentoo-wiki. :) ). So what i want is stability and boot up speed. |
| 8 |
I don't test initng for a while, and when i did i didn't had good |
| 9 |
results, but for what i want it _may_ be good enough, but if the boot |
| 10 |
time is similar to your baselayout, i'll use it instead... |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
In the mean time, what you want to say with "But its designed to load |
| 13 |
binary packages to ram |
| 14 |
during boot, LEAF style." ? |
