dCore Import Debian Packages to Mountable SCE extensions > dCore X86

Boot time

thank you for your efforts and research :)
I tried what you explained but can't get under 35s. With testing I discovered that the most time consuming is xorg.
It is there an option to run without xorg? I want to run only one app, for example in the kiosk mode. So basically don't need an xserver for hole OS, just for this one app.

nitram:
Xorg is heavy and JWM has a lot of dependencies. Instead of Xorg, as mentioned earlier, have you tried:
Xvesa + dwm + your_application

Xvesa and lighter WM information:

http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:x-desktop

Otherwise look at /tmp/tcloop and see if you can't add any more files or directories to the purge file, probably the biggest improvement to load times. If you can strip more, modify purge file, re-import SCE and test.

There's framebuffer but i don't know much about it. If there's a TTY or Ncurses alternative available to the software you use then you won't need Xorg or Xvesa. If you can compile your own software then try Tiny Core 7 with your custom compile. Tiny Core will usually be better stripped than dCore's Debian/Ubuntu packages.

But maybe a few seconds of extra boot time isn't a big deal for a kiosk system anyway.

Problem with Xvesa is that I will use a touch screen and touch screen isn't working right. Is there some options for calibration ?
Is there a lighter VM where can I disable topbar, menu and alt+F key combinations. Because with Flwm I couldn't do it.

nitram:
I have no experience with touchscreen, Xorg may be needed, there's lots of configuration information online. FLWM is not very configurable. You may want a more full featured WM, like Openbox, that allows disabling window dressings, no default panel, keyboard shortcuts can be modified, but it's heavier. Personally i would use a basic tiling WM and recompile it if necessary to disable most features and keyboard shortcuts. Searching 'window manager kiosk' should be fruitful, some like Ratpoison. There was a recent thread about disabling Alt-F key combinations: http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,20388.msg126968.html#msg126968

thank you for a comprehensive reply.  :)
I will try now to use TinyCore, because you said that is faster, I need mono package and gtk-sharp package. I was trying to compile gtk-sharp from source but with no success. In the early version of TinyCore there was an extension for gtk-sharp, I think 3.x. Is there a chance that someone make an extension for TinyCore 7.2?
I would asking in the forum if I didn't try every possible solution that I find in the internet.

Thank you in advance!
