Check the /etc/inittab file, it will tell you what script gets executed
after init ( process 1 sharted by the kernel ) has done the other
stuff in
inittab. I think it is /etc/init.d/rcS , which just runs the scripts
linked
in directory /etc/rcS.d
But something like
echo "Running rcS.d ....."
in the beginning of /etc/init.d/rcS . That will give you an idea of how
long it takes for the kernel to load and initialise and ditto for init .
A lot of the stuuf in rcS.d is generalised by Debian so the OS works on
lots of stuff, servers/laptops/desktops etc, so there is loads of
stuff in
there that will not be needed.
Is there a specific reason you are using the Debian Image? The TSimage
is a
lot leaner.
Thanks, Jim. I went with the Debian image because I expected us to have
to do so unusual stuff with multiple routing tables, so I needed
iptables and iproute2. I didn't think I would be able to get those
running on the TS image.
