I don't want weird bugs when I finally plug in my netbook to a IPv6 connection at some IT friend's house Optimizing bootup based on known, manufactured, fixed hardware is a great idea though. The hardware that's built into the machine should easily be enough to get you into a GUI.

These charts are really interesting (and nice looking!). The whole thing probably requires a lot of analysis to make real gains though. I wonder what all those calls to 'cat' are in the first chart. I also wonder if it would be possible to defer network initialization until after the GUI comes

[Sugar-devel] SoaS on XO bootcharts

2009-03-03 Thread Martin Dengler
For my OLPC/XO-1 laptop these days, I'm using the Sugar-on-a-Stick kickstart files[1]. I want my XO to boot fast, not because I boot it a lot, but because it boots really, really slowly right now. So I installed bootchart, changed olpc.fth to use it, rebooted, and voila, got this chart:
