Steps to profile and optimize a cloop image:


make a miniroot with accelerated knoppix's linuxrc + programs/files in
  /accel as explained in doc. make sure to copy patched knoppix files
  from KNOPPIX directory in lcat sources to /accel to speedup boot sequence.

make iso, boot with:
  Knoppix chkblk=10000 nocbr 

once it's booted, switch to console and get read blocks for boot sequence:
  # mount /mnt/hda1
  # cat /proc/cloop/read_blocks > /mnt/hda1/boot.read_blocks 

reset read_blocks:
  # echo 1 > the /proc/cloop/reset_read_blocks  

run apps that we want optimized

get read blocks for app sequence: 
(will only actually be used on machines that have 160+ Mb RAM)
  # cat /proc/cloop/read_blocks > /mnt/hda1/apps.read_blocks 

Note: it may be interesting to have 2 app.read_blocks files:
- the one we want to preload on startup
  (which goes in /master/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX.appli.lst)
- a much bigger one we get after running most apps, just for the
  sake of optimizing the cloop image (the one we pass to cloopoptimizer)

Optimize cloop KNOPPIX image:
  # cloopoptimizer  KNOPPIX.orig  boot.read_blocks apps.read_blocks
     > /master/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX 

Compile list of blocks to pre-read during boot:
  # rblk2bl boot.read_blocks $[256*1024] > /master/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX.boot.lst  

Compile list of blocks to pre-read after boot (apps)
  # appblk2bl boot.read_blocks $[256*1024] apps.read_blocks 
    > /master/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX.appli.lst  

rebuild iso

in case of :
  Kernel panic  - Not syncing:  VFS: Unable to mount root fs ON unknown-block (1,3) 
boot with
  knoppix chkblk=10000

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
To visualize boot sequence: 

  # cloopprofiler
  load read_blocks
  load cloop image
  View -> draw resource -> cloop header
  Click '>'

Reads should all be consecutives and near the end of the image.
