I've created a bootchart for the EeePC boot up. This EeePC is runnging EeePC Debian and I have removed
the following packages as I don't need them on such a small computer:
 * cron
 * cupsys
 * syslogd

I'm using GDM to start an XFCE environment. Currently the EeePC takes 31 seconds to boot as is shown in the chart below. [I'm sorry for the lousy makeup of this page]

Currently I see 2 sore spots:
 * net.agent
 * sleep
 * udevsettle
 * hwclock

They all seem udev related. I don't know the ins and outs of udev, but maybe the following helps:

== net.agent ==
but net.agent sits in  /lib/udev/

A don't have that file on my Ubuntu system, is it **really** needed on the Eee? 

Optionally remove it and boot see what happens to the system on the boot time

== sleep ==
Where does this sleep come from? Also from udev, or somewhere else?

== udevsettle ==
udevsettle can optionally have a timeout. So /etc/rcS.d/S03udev can be edited 
on a --timeout 5 can be added to udevsettle. Again I have no idea what would happen
to the booting of the EeePC.

== hwclock ==
Why does this take so long?

sudo chmod -x /sbin/hwclock -> boot time DROPS to 20 seconds. See Bootchart: no hwclock

Btw: why are there hwclock init scripts:
 * /etc/rcS.d/S08hwclockfirst.sh
 * /etc/rcS.d/S11hwclock.sh

== Bootchart: net.agent disabled ==

I'm seeing no adverse effects, BUT it still takes 31 seconds.
