Hi,

as I just remembered that all good ideas once started here in that forum, I want to keep that tradition and post it here .

What I did was to create a monitor module to easily create those mkisofs.sort lists, even if you do not use Klaus' scripts.

With that list, you can optimize the contents of your live CD by first usage, so that it has a better startup time.

Its not yet perfect, but does already work and as one should release often and early, well here it is:

http://debian.tu-bs.de/knoppix/exper...tor-0.1.tar.gz

To use it atm do:

- Boot Knoppix into runlevel 2,

- Copy that files to /ramdisk

- Symlink /KNOPPIX.build/ to /ramdisk/

- cat /proc/kmsg > /ramdisk/accesslist.log &

- insmod /ramdisk/monitor.o

- init 5

- Start all needed programs.

- rmmod monitor # stop monitor

- killall cat # "kill the cat"

/KNOPPIX.build/Knoppix.mksortlist2

And voila:

You have a /KNOPPIX.build/mkisofs.sort, which is optimized for your special live CD.

(You'll need to remove /proc though and change /KNOPPIX to / I think)

Enjoy it and develop it further.
