CD boot time of KNOPPIX shortens by "LCAT"

["Kenji Kitagawa" <kitagake@alpha.co.jp>]

Dear,

In order to decrease the boot duration, we have customized KNOPPIX.
and named "Accelerated-KNOPPIX".
http://www.alpha.co.jp/ac-knoppix/index_en.html

Accelerated-KNOPPIX1.0 is based on KNOPPIX4.02 Japanese version.
We managed to boost the performance by using LCAT package and boot duration
has been shortened by half.
http://sourceforge.jp/projects/lcat/

Now, We have customized KNOPPIX 5.0.1 English version released on the
2nd of June 2006.
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.jp/lcat/20452/KNOPPIX_V5.0.1_20060602EN_Accelerated.iso.torrent

Each boot time is about half time as follows.

[PC1:Panasonic Let's Note W2]
CPU:Pentium M 900MHz MEM:512MB CD-Drive:24x
140sec --------> 59sec

[PC2:SHARP MURAMASA]
CPU:Pentium M 1.6GHz MEM:1GB CD-Drive:24x
170sec --------> 97sec


Please refer to the manual (English version) for the method of
speed-up by LCAT.

We hope that the LCAT package will be included in the main stream.
