Hi,

you might have heard of using sort lists to optimize the speed of a LIVE CD.

(Use mkisofs -sort)

But always there was the question:

How can you create those sort-lists.

Klaus answer was always:

- Install to HD, boot from HD and use Knoppix.mksortlist to create mkisofs.sort.

But many of us used just the chroot method to do a quick remaster.

So we could not use the sortlist-feature ...

To avoid this issue, I have created a kernel module, which automatically monitors each file access together with the corresponding time.

So you can now create a CD, boot it once (for example with bootfrom=/dev/hdaX/*.iso) and then speed-optimize it by creating the ISO-file again and burn and be happy .

Well I dunno if you have a use for it.

I just thought, I share my work .

For more info see here:

To get the monitor module go to:

Usage is explained in above post.
