Hi, All I'm about to launch an embeded product runing Gentoo Linux. Everything is working perfectly now, but I really would like to have a faster boot.
As this computer will not have upgrades, at least not as usual as a common desktop, I think that the cold/hotplug could be replaced by something else, although I plan to use an external USB disk on maintenance. Another little detail: I have already seen that the Knoppix CD starts with a lo-res bitmap while starting its services and probably detecting the hardware and then it changes to a full-res version of the same image when it is starting KDE. How can I do that? I have almost done that with the frame buffer bootup image and just after starting X the first task is to change the background image to a copy of that used on the boot sequence, but still there is a gap where one can see the X' checkered background. Any sugestions? Thanks a lot Francisco -- [email protected] mailing list
