Hi Johnny, I was exploring some options to make the embeded platform boot faster. Right now I'm using ext2 partitions(ext3 use more I/O), but when it is shutdown improperly it takes a little to boot(it runs fsck). I was thinking that the LiveCD will help boot faster when the power goes off, but now I realize that the ext2 solution will be better.
