Subject: MACH BOOT



The ISO image is finally released. Check it out please.

--- Okajima.


--------
We introduce here that MACH BOOT, which is an experimental CD booting technology
with the goal of achieving fast booting with x48 CD-ROM drive.

Check this out, please.
http://www.machboot.com/


Features:

1. Booting fast, usually within 10 secs from x48 CD-ROM drive.
2. Launching apps is also fast. Almost same as from HDD.
3. Customizable. You can make it "MACH" with any distribution,
including your original one.
4. (Hopefully) Better PnP than KNOPPIX.
This feature is not sure for now --- I just have tested on only a few PCs.

I dont think such difference of CD drive affects to boot speed,
but, anyway, please try it and report the result.

Hm yeah. Unfortunately, it does not download as fast as it boots.
