I noticed the YaST installer is far faster. One explanation I got was that it was making less mkinitrd calls. Could you elaborate?
IN the past, mkinitrd was ran every time a package requested to do so ..this causes one mkinitrd call for each package with initrd hooks (lvm, device-mapper, kernel, multipath-tools, etc..etc..).
For example on systems with SSD drives and/or really fast internet access, the constant recreation of the initrd consumed most of the overall time of the package installation process.
In the current codestream mkinitrd should be ran only once at the end of the transaction. Buggy packages still exist and need fixing but the overall situation as improved dramatically. I noticed too though, that just going from page to page and such in the installer was massively faster. Is that simply due to the Ruby implimentation?
