DSL Embedded :: faster boot

Some of these options may not improve boot speed much, but will improve RAM usage inside your virtual PC.

For example, if you do not need apm, there is no need to load apm management into RAM or you are just wasting RAM and CPU cycles.

Just my $0.02

Yes, indeed. I also personally use jwm and turn off torsmo, then Qemu becomes slightly more bearable. I don't have a powerful machine to run it on. But all these tweaks have made it easier for to support dsl-embedded on a 256MB 700Mhz machine. I will add those boot options in the next release.
