That would get it down to about a minute, plus the time it
takes for the serial downloader to do the rest (about half a minute).
If we needed to, we could go even faster. The serial line speed

An Open Firmware image for OLPC is available for testing. See

I've tried ofw-061011-1916 on both of my A-Test boards, and it worked
When we say LinuxBIOS in the context of OLPC, we have generally meant
LinuxBIOS and some boot loader payload. The boot loader is that program
that can load the system into memory; a boot loader needs to be able to
talk to the hardware, and implement file systems to be able to read the
kernel
Speaking as the guy who really likes linux as bootloader, and will
continue to use it for many platforms as I have for 6 years now, I have
really thought a lot about this change from Linux to OFW, and I'm good
with it.
I still am not sure I'm sold on all the merits (we've seen here that

I think that we, as a group, should now go to the Linux kernel guys and
ask them to please, pretty please, put OFW parsing into the PC side of
the house -- it's in the PPC and Sun side, has been for years, no reason
not to
Mitch correctly points out (in private mail) that OFW was always an open
standard: the specs were open and multiple implementations existed.
So I'm happy to eat crow. As opposed to OpenVMS, (a true misnomer if
ever I saw one, and I worked for that company when that screamer was
done), OFW was
I tried to tear the ofw image apart, and if the files were compressed with
lzma instead of gzip, it all fits in around 220 kbyte, which means that a LinuxBIOS with
ofw could fit into
any commodety 256k BIOS used in ordenary PC's - so this could
really be a lifter for LinuxBIOS aswell.
FirmWorks has done many OFW implementations in 256K, even with the
outstanding compression available with LZMA.
I meant to say without, not with.
D'oh!

We should have the OFW building tools available in a public place within
a few weeks. At that point it would be really cool if someone would
undertake the conversion to LZMA.

why not just LZMA the whole image? It's running as a single linuxbios
payload right? I am

That makes it a little smaller but
why not just LZMA the whole image?
ofw is like a tar of mostly gzipped files
ofw as distributed here - 338 kB
that image throught lzma - 300 kB
compress idividual files - 225 kB
It could make sense to include VSA and .. in this kind of
tar like a minifilesystem to avoid duplication of code.
