[Debian-eeepc-devel] boot time reduction on Eee PC

I followed the recipe that Petter Reinholdtsen posted here:
    http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2008/05/msg01119.html 
and reduced my boot time from 25 seconds to 18.  (Changing from bash to
dash saved 3 seconds, and enabling parallel init scripts with insserv
saved an additional 5 seconds.)

The readahead package provided no benefit (actually hurt slightly),
probably due to the already low latency of reading from SSD.
