Hi!

I found this site with some tips for a faster boot. Something for TC?

Patches welcome ;)
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

Tiny Core boots quick.

Somebody could update that page, and include information about Tiny Core.
Many people see what is. Some people see what can be, and make a difference.

There is a Toolbox section. Looks like a perfect place to put a link to Tiny Core.

Just saw an article about Lineo Solutions and "fast-boot" technology.

does tinycore loads scripts in parallel? I've loaded upstart on my debian box, boots up quick.  Now I'm hearing about systemd, will probably load that one someday. These may be too bloated for tinycore though.

Tiny core loads very few scripts at startup.
You are responsible for starting things via bootlocal.sh.
Bootlocal.runs in the background, and anything you start in that script can be run in parallel by running it in background using &.
It is your responsibility to prevent any race conditions that may result in doing so.
Startup scripts may be run sequentially before login by calling them from bootsync.sh.
