Wow, 30 seconds ? My Arch machine boots in about half of that. :)
Are the above numbers from power ON to [GKX]DM login prompt?
Both Venkatraman and Sujith, can you please share your hardware setup
and what did you do to shorten the bootup time.
Well. I run arch too. I am not exaggerating, but my Arch boot time is 9
seconds.
I backgrounded all the daemons. In my /etc/rc.conf (The arch sys conf file)
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng @network @netfs @crond @httpd @alsa @mpd).
It is safer not to background syslog-ng. UDev takes the maximum time (3
seconds).
The rest disappear as soon as they arrive. And @ backgrounds the processes.
I dont use a login manager. I log into screen as soon as I log in.
Also, of all the login managers I have used, slim was the fastest. It added
3-5 seconds
to the startup. Just uncomment the line in /etc/inittab. Some of this
speedgain comes
because Arch Keeps it Simple!
