There is no special reason, except that some readers may find it
confusing and obscure, but no magic is involved. The ordering
is still not as good as it should be, and I doubt that it makes
a significant difference. The proper way would be tracing all
open() calls in the kernel and gernerating the list from there,
but I found no convenient way to do this yet.
Currently I use the file access times as sorting criteria, which
may not always give the best results. Attached is an example script.
Your mileage may vary.

-Klaus KnopperNow, i'm interested in how well this works. I have seen Klaus write that no sorting at all may be just as fast sometimes. So i guess we can easily compate, and maybe improve this a little.Code:#!/bin/sh find / -anewer /KNOPPIX.build/mkisofs.timestamp -not \( -type d -o -path /KNOPPIX.build\* -o -path /tmp\* -o -path /proc/\* -o -path /mnt/\* \) -printf '%p %A@\n' | sort -rn +1 -t' ' | awk -F' ' '{print $1 " " ++i}' > /KNOPPIX.build/mkisofs.sort echo "/bin/mkdir 10090" >> /KNOPPIX.build/mkisofs.sort echo "/bin/chown 10080" >> /KNOPPIX.build/mkisofs.sort echo "/bin/cp 10070" >> /KNOPPIX.build/mkisofs.sort echo "/bin/ln 10060" >> /KNOPPIX.build/mkisofs.sort echo "/bin/rm 10050" >> /KNOPPIX.build/mkisofs.sort echo "/dev/* 20000" >> /KNOPPIX.build/mkisofs.sort echo "/etc/* 30000" >> /KNOPPIX.build/mkisofs.sort

Heh, Klaus put an end to that wives tale, didnt he
I would also be interested in knowing how mkisofs.timestamp is generated.
I have a test remaster here that takes about 2 times longer to boot into KDE than the original ISO.
Even if there is a marginal speed improvement I would be happy.
