That actually sounds like a brilliant idea. I wonder if anyone on the list
can confirm performance... does the CFcard appear as a standard IDE disk
or is there a driver or anything necessary?<br>

<pre wrap="">Hello Christopher,
mounting a CF-2-IDE-Adapter /w CF-Card would be
a little bit faster than the rotating thing, or?

Betreff: Re: DOC vs. IDE
you can't fit X onto the DoC you can buy today.
Fasted boot I've seen is with the kernel in DoC, then mount /dev/hda1 as
/.

Even an X like Qt embedded? My Zaurus only has 32Mb on it, and it boots
into X in about 4 seconds. While I don't expect _that_ speedy of a boot, I
would think I could achieve significantly less than 35(ish) seconds it takes
now. Also, did you factor in the IDE spinup boot delay of having an IDE /.
directory? If the DOC+IDE is faster, do you mean throughput wise or time
wise? I'm referring to an earlier message that you replied to Todd Johnson
and his boot times (message below). It seemed as if the 2 emails conflict
in what they're saying, so I just wanted to ask for a little clarification
(not doubting you, just a little unclear on the principle).
Essentially what I'm wondering is if a small footprint X could be booted
into via DOC and if it would be faster than DOC+IDE (considering the IDE
spinup delay).
Your thoughts?

My options are the LinuxBIOS coupled with a DOC root or with root
configured on hda1 (IDE). I boot into X and I'll need standard
modules loaded. I'd like to fit the entire install on a DOC but only
IF I'll get a faster load/boot.
