boottime

anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 21:06:58 +0000

Boot time SliTaz boots fast! But most likely you haven't turned super fast boot on yet. To do this, just edit your /etc/rcS.conf : FAST_BOOT_X="yes" Remove dbus, hald and slim from the RUN_DAEMONS array. That's all. Note, on some machines, FAST_BOOT_X may not boot properly. However, if Xvesa/Xorg works after you enable this feature, it's safe to leave it on.
