Based on the XBMC Community Forum discussion [http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=27571 here (link)] we have started a article here in the XBMC Online Manual wiki on how to "''[[HOW-TO improving the (perceived) boot time on a general Linux distribution]]''".


Feel free to here post ideas and discussion about how to improve the (perceived) startup time of XBMC Live from a cold boot (whether from Live CD, Live USB, or from a harddrive installation of [[XBMC Live]], or any other Linux distro for that matter).

1 minute and 55 sections before the menu accepts commands.  This is from a USB boot.  I have 1GB of RAM and an Athlon 3200 (some old single-core jobbie).  USB 2.0, of course.

How long would it take to simply load a 1GB memory image from a USB stick directly into RAM and then BAM! jump to the start of program?  I'm guessing much less than 1:55, but I'll do the calcs when I have some time. Has anyone thought of simply putting the program image directly on the USB and loading it directly to RAM?
* A guide to improving ubuntu boot time can be found [http://lightningcrash.blogspot.com/2007/08/making-ubuntu-boot-in-19-seconds.html here]
 
What could possibly be taking so long?  XBMC is not really suitable as a media center *appliance* with a boot time like this. It still feels more like a hobby project, and I will switch as soon as I see anything even 5 seconds faster.
