And ? if you try to boot on any liveCD, it is true that you will face a longer boot. But once installed and tuned, no matter.

Having a cleaned kernel with no external module to load impacts deeply the boot time. For sure. You have to get rid off all unnecessary stuff from your config file, set all your required driver in the kernel image itself, then remove any external module, and compile your few-Mo kernel (you will probably need an other machine to distcc the compilation if you wanna keep your week-end free ;)). > What I assume is BECAUSE boot time depends on the settings could be > easier installing debian packages onto Xandros instead installing > Xandros settings on a Debian from scratch installation. Heu... I see what debian from scratch + customizing means. What do you mean with debain installation on Xandros ? If you remove Xandros, you'll have to think about the desktop env. that you want. I could suggest XFCE. So, you switch your sources.list to the debian repositories, and install XFCE ? then remove Xandros GUI pkg(s) ? why not... It sounds easier -for me- to run debian rules from scratch. But everything is possible, we are running open OSes :-) <snip> By the way, good luck !
