Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

As usual I am going way beyond my capacity to even understand what I am suggesting . . .

But when we stabilise the new kernel a lot of interest from developers might come if we are able to generate a custom kernel for future boots on a Mult-session CD

Using tinyCC (part of Puppy) the initial boot up would be slow (by Puppy standards) whilst a persons machine was set up

Then a custom kernel is created

Now the kernel is smaller and optimised for a particular configuartion
Puppy just got faster still - and smaller.

Oh I know easy enough to say - just an idea



We still have to get the Multi-session CDRW recognised . . . which is currently being debated on IRC

Yes, when Multi-sesssion is sorted out there is lots more that can be done.
