Boot times of various OSes on EeePC 901. How does TC stack up?
paulfxh:
OK, I seem to have PPI/TCE mode working OK now. Boot time is down to 38 seconds although there is now a noticeable lag in launching apps like Opera.
One strange thing is that neither wifi nor my wired connection autostart any more. To get wifi to start at boot I had to restore these three lines
--- Code: ---cd /home/tc
cp rt2860sta.ko.gz /lib/modules/2.6.26-tinycore/kernel/drivers/net/
depmod -a
--- End code ---
that I was able to take out before as described in this thread.
I'm sure I'll be able to figure this out tomorrow but if anybody knows, feel free to post ;)

All of my OSes are HD installed. Haiku and Senryu work very many times faster when natively installed in comparison to the VM performance.

Now you are changing your focus from boot time to runtime. Naturally applications that load into ram will have a longer boot time and a quicker startup runtime. On the otherhand, applicaitons 'installed' onto a drive/partition will take longer for their startup runtime.

Your newly made tce is outside of /usr/local therefore keep it as a tce, or add files to your .filetool.lst, eg the /lib/modules/2.6.26-tinycore/kernel/drivers/net/rt2860sta.ko.gz and the module dep files.

As I suspected. If you are inclined to want to benchmark, then perhaps you should have a level playing field and install TC traditionally. Most OS offer only traditional hard drive installations. TC offers many choices and is a tool. Based your choices your boot times vs startup runtimes will vary, even in a PPR/TCE using the optional/ directory for things like the toolchain compile.tce will make a better experience.
With choices comes decisions.

For kernel modules, you can copy them to /usr/local/lib/modules/2.6.26-tinycore/kernel/
