- Plymouth for splash #305493 (we don't think there is much benefit in)
That's a shame. OK, it's a shiny feature, but it's a shiny feature that adds a significant level of polish to the boot sequence.
The real goal should be to boot so fast you don't need a spash screen. Look at the Goblin builds (openSUSE Moblin), everything happens within 15 seconds, so a custom splash sequence would only slow things down (it really does, we have measured the thing...)
What we need to do is get the Moblin changes into the main openSUSE repo, which we are slowly getting accomplished.
That may lessen the boot time but openSUSE will never get down to the times that Moblin does simply because flexibility isn't free. The goals are too different. Personally, I'd be extremely annoyed if I was hamstrung by the limitations Moblin imposes for every day systems. I want LVM. I want encrypted home and swap. These things mean an initrd slowing things down and that is a trade off I'll happily make. -Jeff -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
