While bootup times on my system - AMD Sepmron 1.6 GHz + 1GB RAM are not that slow - about 1 minute. It's still very slow compared to Windows XP that boot at under 30 seconds. Maybe we can accelerate that ? By optimizing the boot process - perhaps by using initng ? I have tried installing initng - and it was no go - it is not compatible with SUSE - but since it's open-source one man can stand up and make it compatible. I can't do this because I understand poorly the init procedure. Also I do not understand how init is correlated with inird (that is loaded together with the kernel). I could NOT find any serious but easy to read documentation about it. Any volunteers to port initng to SUSE?
