alpha.co.jp — Accelerated-KNOPPIX Ver.1.0 just came out today, and the whole thing boots in under a minute, and retains all of the functionality of the original Knoppix CD. I wonder how fast it would boot off of a hard drive?

From <a class="user" href="http://distrowatch.com:">http://distrowatch.com:</a>Japan's Alpha Systems has released Accelerated KNOPPIX 1.0, a fast-booting variant of the popular KNOPPIX live CD. By re-arranging the Cloop file system block and optimising the hardware detection and configuration step, the developers have succeeded in reducing the CD boot time to under 60 seconds, while maintaining the full functionality of the distribution. More details with illustrations of the technology (which, incidentally, is released under the GPL) can be found on the project's home page. Accelerated KNOPPIX version 1.0, released yesterday, can be downloaded from here: Accelerated-KNX_20060228.iso (692MB, MD5).Forgive me if the links get fscked up... this is my first digg comment.

@malakinthis site details a way to do it with a hex editor <a class="user" href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-knoppix/2004/03/msg00035.html">http://lists.debian.org/debian-knoppix/2004/03/msg00035.html</a>it seems impractical to do it with a hex editor, but it's alot easier than remastering the whole image. I'll post if i find something better.
