My boot time measurement markers are: Timer start is at the plug-in (i.e. at the instant when overo-fire is powered) Timer end is when all the icons on the desktop have appeared, and loading process is stopped. This is when the processor comes to a nearly idle state. This comes to about 2 minutes approximately after a few tweaks. From the startup applications I removed
- login sound
- Personal file sharing
- Print queue applet
- Pulse Audio related items
- User folder update
- Visual Assistance
Prior to which the boot time was approx 2m:15s...
This is still way too much. How long do you take from boot until X paints its first screen?
Getting a bootchart can show very quickly where the problem areas are.
I believe that you just need to install the bootchart package and reboot, and the data appear under /var/log/bootchart. If you install the pybootchartgui package as well then you will get charts produced which are easier to deal with.
Thanks,
