[ale] fastest linux boot time?

It is about using a compact Flash card to replace an IDE
drive.  You can get the adpater cheaper from 
http://www.pcengines.com/cflash.htm

I don't think you will save much time boot up unless you
configure your system like a minimal/embedded one.
Loading the services take time much longer than just
reading blocks from the disk system.

Customize the inittab and SYSV init scripts instead!
