We introduce here that MACH BOOT, which is an experimental CD booting technology
with the goal of achieving fast booting with x48 CD-ROM drive.
Check this out, please.
http://www.machboot.com/
Features:
1. Booting fast, usually within 10 secs from x48 CD-ROM drive.
2. Launching apps is also fast. Almost same as from HDD.
3. Customizable. You can make it "MACH" with any distribution,
including your original one.
4. (Hopefully) Better PnP than KNOPPIX.
This feature is not sure for now --- I just have tested on only a few PCs.

OK, a cool movie of something booting apparently quick probably from a CD.
Then angle is a bit odd, but..

What do you define as booting?
Up to console? Up to X and Fx opening Yahoo?

Hard to believe, especially if you have lots of files (.so files, Fx plugins)
But if you say. That Fx, was quick indeed.

How does it relate to Linux and kernel in particular?
Any code?
License?
What is it? A user space app, boot loader, kernel module, fs...?
Any demos?
Kalin.

I am sure it will go through the roof with my x56.

I dont think such difference of CD drive affects to boot speed,
but, anyway, please try it and report the result.

Hm yeah. Unfortunately, it does not download as fast as it boots.
