The reason for slowness is that it is booting off CD and the GUI apps
read a large
number of files from the CD, so it takes about 6mins on my 16x drive for
XFce4 to
come up. Also it takes quite a while to start FireFox.
However, I also have /usr/foss and /usr/X11 dumped on the hard disk. So
if I go to
command-line mode mount the /usr/foss, /usr/X11 from hard disk and then
start X, it
takes about 10secs to start the XFce desktop (discounting the bootup
time of course).
So something like cramfs will really help here. Then all of /usr can be
in a compressed file
on the CD. This should allow faster access and allow having more stuff
on the CD.
KnoppiX takes less time to start the KDE desktop and has 2GB of stuff on
a CD by
way of cramfs.
One small thing that can be done is to have a way of keeping the CD
drive spinning so
that subsequent access does not have to wait for for it to spin-up.

Moinak.

Although it's dog slow and not very useful for normal usage which maybe due to
debug
turned on. I did notice one thing. uname -a reports BeliniX0.1. Forget to
change the rev?
