Suggestion: Optimizing LiveCD-speed

[Thijs H]

Hi all,

I just noticed Accelerated Knoppix: It has a boot time under 60 seconds !
Unfortunately I'm not a developer, but if someone is looking for a way to
improve boot-speed, have a look at
http://www.alpha.co.jp/ac-knoppix/index_en.html

An other possibility for improving the speed of a Fedora LiveCD is using
copy2ram, that makes the LiveCD boot slowly, but when booting is finished it
works very fast.

It looks like they use an optimized cloop filesystem.
I'm pretty sure Kadischi will be using SquashFS in the near future.

im quoting from jasper's email:

Chitlesh, you were also talking about users not having CVS access, or
it being blocked..
I have put together an SRPM and RPM for kadischi.
You can find them here: http://autopsy.thetabox.org/SRPMS and
http://autopsy.thetabox.org/RPMS/i386
if you want to direct users towards those, that should be sufficient,
and more reliable/productive than just a CVS tar.gz for download.
I've used Kadischi's version as sta6ted and pl4 in the release. (For
patchlevel).
If you have any patches or features you want to include in here, just
send them with an explanation
and I'll rebuild and re-upload the SRPM and RPM.

I've put together an RPM and SRPM with a few patches here:
http://autopsy.thetabox.org/RPMS/i386 and http://autopsy.thetabox.org/SRPMS
they are not official Fedora Core packages and they were provided in re to
Chitlesh's statement that some users may have CVS access blocked.
They are a pure contribution to the efforts currently involved with Kadischi
and in no way reflect the Fedora Project, it's community or maintainers.

The RPM/SRPM would be used on Fedora Core 5 tests or above.
