Hi,
I was wondering about how DSL boots compared to Debian. I know on Debian stable/Sarge, it takes a LONG time to boot even a semifast computer. I guess that this is due to the auto detection that they are now using. It seems if I remember right, the last Debian version was a lot faster to boot as you just put in the modules you wanted to boot in an init script somewhere in /etc
Does DSL use the same method as Sarge?
Can anyone tell me if they know how to change Sarge to boot faster? I was thinking maybe a good idea would be to do an HD install of DSL if they have a faster boot method.
I can't imagine have long the current Debian would take on a slow computer. Eck! I do know that Puppy boot very very fast on my PII -300 laptop.
Thank you for wading through this long note!
Mark.
