Boot time, any ideas on how to cut it down?

[Goatee]

I read lxnay's previous post.

So, i set RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP to yes in /etc/conf.d/rc

But my boot options didn't contain doslowusb so I couldn't do that.

Would removing dobladecenter give any speed advantages.

At the moment I have a 2 and a quarter minute boot time (from the end of grub to logged in KDE w/ compiz.

I spend 56 secs on the orange screens.

47 secs w/ the grey screen.

33 secs for KDE loading.

In reiser 4.

It's worth the wait, but it has a negative effect on the people I show it to.

Is it possible that I could do something else to speed it up?

Thanks in advance.

rc_parellel is great to use, but not stable enough yet

You can safely remove dobladcenter if you're not running a usb dvd reader

Also, try using http://www.initng.org/wiki/Install_Gentoo
Increases speed very much, but again, still unstable

Nvidia is the coz of the gre screen, and kdm with xgl is a bit slow. Working on the kde part, should be much faster in stable

Hope that helps
