| slaxemulator@7 | 1 ====== Boot time ====== |
| slaxemulator@7 | 2 |
| slaxemulator@7 | 3 SliTaz boots fast! But most likely you haven't turned super fast boot on yet. To do this, just edit your ///etc/rcS.conf// : |
| slaxemulator@7 | 4 <file> FAST_BOOT_X="yes" </file> |
| slaxemulator@7 | 5 |
| slaxemulator@7 | 6 Remove dbus, hald and slim from the RUN_DAEMONS array. That's all. Note, on some machines, FAST_BOOT_X may not boot properly. However, if Xvesa/Xorg works after you enable this feature, it's safe to leave it on. |
| slaxemulator@7 | 7 |
| slaxemulator@7 | 8 Now, how do you measure the boot time? SliTaz logs time that rcS scripts take to run in the ///var/log/boot-time// file. In my case, it shows 5 secs. |
| slaxemulator@7 | 9 |
| slaxemulator@7 | 10 But, how do you graph your full boot process (including the kernel-boot time)? Its quite easy on SliTaz. Just do and install the following: |
| slaxemulator@7 | 11 |
| slaxemulator@7 | 12 <code> # tazpkg get-install pybootchartgui </code> |
| slaxemulator@7 | 13 |
| slaxemulator@7 | 14 Pybootchartgui will then create a chart automatically in ///var/log//. |
| slaxemulator@7 | 15 |
| slaxemulator@7 | 16 Now, just edit your //menu.lst// file for grub and add init=/sbin/bootchartd. In my case, it's like this: |
| slaxemulator@7 | 17 |
| slaxemulator@7 | 18 <file> |
| slaxemulator@7 | 19 title slitaz with bootchart |
| slaxemulator@7 | 20 root (hd0,8) |
| slaxemulator@7 | 21 kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30.6-slitaz root=/dev/sda9 init=/sbin/bootchartd quiet |
| slaxemulator@7 | 22 </file> |

| slaxemulator@7 | 24 Here's my boot chart with WPA2 wifi (under 10 secs boot time on a laptop with hard disk). This is out-of-the-box!!!: |
