I tried again experimental (4295238) on the same USB with the same installation method and I get 64 seconds. I got 56 seconds with 1.1 right after that. So yes, now the increase (14%) seems reasonable. In the previous build that ended up being super slow I also had a MKSQUASHFS_OPTIONS = "-comp gzip" as environment variable from my .bashrc (I removed it) :( > * The slightly slower boot in some cases seems acceptable to me, once > we balance it with shorter download time, more space for IUKs on > the system partition, and the fact that it (temporarily) > workarounds the problems caused by #7462. I confirm that on this experimental ISO isohybrid with the old versions do not return any warning. The ISO image is 954M (in whatever unit it returned by `ls -lh`). -- sajolida _______________________________________________ Tails-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to [email protected].
