However, I never used such a large rootfs, ours are mainly somewhere between 750kB and 2MB (cramfs). http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif After boot, it runs from memory. I would think that the usage size would me more important than the partition sizes themselves. I would remove the crud as much as possible. Maybe I'll have a look at the boot times here from flash: the 2.6.12 has a nice feature that prints the timestamps in the kmesgs.
