Hey, I just thought it might be interesting to see how fast Puppy boots up for everybody. Please include as many details as you can think of. Start your stopwatch as soon as the BIOS (+grub) finish loading, and stop it as soon as the desktop is completely loaded (Wallpaper, taskbar, icons.) I'll start: Boot Time: 46 seconds. Version: Slacko 5.4. Installation type - Frugal, with 2 GB Heavily encrypted save. RAM: 3 GB of RAM (+2 GB Swap on an internal HD.) Processor: 3 GHz Pentium 4, multithreaded. Boot Device: 4 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive (SanDisk Cruzer Edge.) SFS's: 1 (Gimp) _________________  Version 27. Dotpet. Click here.

Are we working with the "true" boot time, meaning when you push the power button? Or are we doing the "feel good" one, from grub or the puppy menu? Jake |

@ amigo, I would like to check out this linux kiss that you're using, but can't seem to find any info on it. Could you direct me to a url with more info or a down load location? _________________ I carefully plan ALL my random acts!  |

It would be helpful to know whether it is a full vs. frugal install, hard drive installation vs. USB boot vs. CD/DVD. _________________ HP P6115y/AMDX2 2.5 GHz/8GB RAM/750GB/WinVista Home Prem SP2 64 bit Dual Monitor (Saluki23 w/ Compiz, Slacko533 PAE w/ Compiz on USB stick) Compaq Presario 2195us 1GB RAM Lupu 5.2.8.5 off CD/Retired WinXP 4/8/14 Nexus 5 (rooted), Lumia 820 WP8.1 |

I recommend doing the "feel good" one - it's actually more accurate for testing OS speed. As soon as the BIOS finishes, and the Grub screen (if you have one) is over, start your stopwatch. E.G., I have a bootable USB stick. I boot up, press F12, arrow down to "USB Device", then press enter and start the timer at the same time. If you use another timing system - for example, starting the timer when you press power, mention that in the post. _________________ Version 27. Dotpet. Click here.

Yes, the 'feel good' is the only way to do a comparison between different machines -since the BIOS load-times will vary greatly from one box to another. @plankenstein, KISS is not really ready fro prime-time as I have never yet built an installer. There are packages and sources here: http://distro.ibiblio.org/amigolinux/distro/kiss-4.0/ if you know how to shoe-horn them into a partition.... Hint, the 'tpkg' package format is actually just tar.xz archives. |

Newer Puppy kernels have the printk.time=1 boot parameter compiled into the kernel and a
the programs that are loading additional drivers to finish . I am running
a Core2 @ 2.6 GHz, using the cpufreq_ondemand,acpi_cpufreq drivers compiled as modules managed by the standard Puppy CPU Frequency Scaling Interface /usr/local/cpu-freq/cpu_freq , that uses a range from 1,6-2,6 GHz . RAM=4GB , PUPMODE=2(full install) . |

Here's a low-end one. 1.6 GHz AMD Athlon 2000+ Slacko 5.4 Full Hard Disk install: 35 Seconds CD boot- Copy to RAM: 1:35 Don't copy to RAM: 1:56 
It's faster to copy to RAM than not?! _________________ Not running as root is the cause of my inferiority complex. Desktop: 2 GHz Core 2 Duo - 2 GB RAM Laptop: 1.5 GHz Pentium M (III) - 1 GB RAM |

Lupu 528-005 frugal on NTFS HD with 630MB save file took 45 seconds. Most of the time it spent with drivers. I am experimenting with using no save file so that is adding to the boot time. If one already have set up a save file then the boot goes faster the script says  So I will test with both to see the difference
frugal on HD with Slacko and Lupu and HP AMD dual core bought some 3 years ago? _________________ I use Google Search on Puppy Forum not an ideal solution though |

Good idea for a topic! My data: 1.6GHz VIA Nano processor, 3 G ram frugal HD installs in a Linux partition Puppy 431 30 s Precise 5.5 50 s Windows XP awake from hibernation 14 s 
---------------------- In menu.lst I try to avoid searching, for example
So why does "Searching for Puppy files" still take Precise 8 s? (2 s in 431) And why does Precise stay on black screen for over 15 s after "Starting X"? Edited_time_total |

Code change in initrd.gz . Helped me out in a special case i cannot remember right now anymore, where Puppy-4.3.1 failed to boot. Some sleep delay was added i think for slow USB external drives and probably by default now searches all detected partitions despite the entries in the kernel line. Try to boot without any psubdir and pdev1 entries if that makes a difference. |
