Another option is to sort the files on the CD in an optimal way. I did
some reading of how some Linux Live CDs are done, and they seem to use
something called squashfs, which can optionally sort the files in a
way that can speed up booting. Even without that sorting I think
squashfs provides other benefits that helps on Live CDs. I'm not
suggesting we use it, but there might be ideas from it we could use to
improve our CD boot time.
In general though we should at least be able to compete with Linux
Live CDs on boot-up time. Even if we can't sort this out for alpha 1,
I think it should be pretty high priority after the release.
Did Be using any tricks for their CDs?
