Booting from an sd card on an ASUS EEE 900, using Puppy 4.1.2, I'm trying to find a little more speed during boot-up.

From the boot file found in Puppy Processes, I see that Puppy is looking for a couple of things I don't have. Is its search slowing things down? And if so, how do I stop it from looking, for example, for my PCMCIA slot (I don't have one)?

Many thanks,
Jake

Hi jakfish; I don't know what the missing path is exactly but it's not a problem.
If you try the commands "ls" & "cat" on a nonexisting file you'll see they only take a split second.

Sunburnt, many thanks for your reply. I had noticed a significant pause during "WAIT MODULES LOADED," and wondered if Puppy was spending a lot of time looking for something not there.

If it's only a second-long search, then the wait must just be the price I pay because of running Puppy off an SD card.
