Introduction

On the [http://linuxplumbersconf.org/ Linux Plumbers Conference in 2008] it was shown in [http://linuxplumbersconf.org/program/speakers/getspeaker.php?speaker=avandeven.txt a talk] how [http://lwn.net/Articles/299483/ to boot an ASUS EeePC 901 in five seconds]. The [http://www.fenrus.org/plumbers_fastboot.ppt slides] are available too.

A Fedora 9 system and a Moblin system were used for demonstration.

This page is dedicated to give instructions how to port and implement the used techniques on a Debian GNU/Linux system.

Remark

There are already some other pages available in this Wiki dealing with shortening the booting time. In the end the results of this page, which are not suitable implementing in a standard Debian installation should be incorporated there or be linked from there.

On the list for the ["DebianEeePC"] [http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/debian-eeepc-devel/2008-October/001324.html some work was already done].

Mailinglist

It [http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/debian-eeepc-devel/2008-October/001406.html is thought about] to set up a dedicated list for this task on for example Alioth. If someone wants to go ahead please do.

Implementation

Different means were used in the talk, which can be seen on the slides.

  • Splash Screens
  • Budget & Resource Scheduling

  • Kernel
