OpenRC-time

Wed, 2008-12-10 01:17 — aron

Finally I made the leap.
Used the stopwatch to get the boot time from BIOS POST to login screen: 1:02.4
Added

sys-apps/openrc ~amd64
sys-apps/baselayout ~amd64

to /etc/portage/package.keywords
Emerged them and followed the guide:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/openrc-migration.xml

No problemo. New boot time:
00:48.4
Sweet. Thx Roy!

There is

There is app-benchmarks/bootchart to create a pretty graph, as seen here: http://jolexa.wordpress.com/2008/10/14/linux-fastboot-my-bootchart/ Also, consider setting Parallel starting, forgot the exact name now.

rc_parallel="YES" that one?

rc_parallel="YES" that one? Got it. Maybe also rc_interactive="NO" not sure if that will make a difference. I'll try and remember to use the stopwatch next time I boot. Thank for the tip!
