"Πόντος" concentrates on
integrating the changes caused by kernel 2.6.27, init optimisations
accomplished by insserv and in particular overhauling the
installer.
"While kernel 2.6.27 improves and stabilises hardware support
for newer devices, like Intel IPW5xxx and Atheros AR9xxx 802.11
draft-n wlan chipsets, and chipsets significantly, it also splits
out a number of binary firmware blobs formerly shipped inside the
kernel image. Please attend to non-free sources and Drivers for an
overview.
"Starting with "Πόντος", sidux is
using "insserv" to reorder and optimise the sysv initscripts used
during the system boot, this doesn't only improve the boot times,
but also allows easier de-/ activating of particular initscripts
using standard tools."
