does anyone ever try to make your DSL boot a little faster? can it boot as fast as 30s only?ie: how to modify the autoconf-knoppix file in /etc ? would someone give me some hints before i start to play around with that file thanx Posted by jimihieu on April 27 2006,17:37
just to add in that i only want DSL to autoconf for HDDs , ram , video card, HDTV card , mouse & keyboard that's all.thanx Posted by doobit on April 27 2006,17:48
It will boot faster if you use the "no" boot command options. For example : dsl norestore noapci noapm nofirewire noscsi etc.

hi thanx for the fast reply yes i did use those commands.... however when it come to autoconfiguration part in boot process i can see that it looks for all the devices it can... now i just want to cut down the devices that it looks for to the ones i mention ealier...so that boot time can be shorter further... But im not really sure how to change the code... hope someone can helps. thanx Posted by humpty on April 28 2006,05:57
the slowest part is the scanning of the usb ports.i'm thinking of buying an older motherboard with just 1 or 2 usb ports instead of the 6 or 8 that you get these days! |
