> - 5 second boot time (
http://lwn.net/Articles/299483/ )
Why hasn't anyone been able to do this for the OLPC?
All we need is a simple, alternate boot that Rapidly boots up with
Wifi access and a browser.
That's it. Let's make this "Toy" practical for G1G1 participants.
Yes, there are those that want the full Ubuntu flexibility and
features. The "full" Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora installs have already
been successfully implemented, and those willing to wait minutes for
their OLPCs to boot up with them are happy.
However many G1G1 participants, such as myself, may not be as
interested in the plethora of functionality that these builds have to
offer, and only want rapid, basic functionality:
1. Quick boot time (Yes, ideally 5-10 seconds)
2. Basic wifi access and webbrowsing.
3. Business applications such as: Spreadsheet, Word Processor, PDF
viewer, PPT Presentation viewer would be nice.
What do we need to do to make this a reality?
