fedora 19 boottime on an intel core i7 4770 with a Samsung 840 Pro Series 256GB ssd

I installed fedora 19 on my new pc mainly to play with ovirt which seems to be easier to install on fedora than on Debian.

Don’t worry I still have a debian system at hand…

The boot time on a ssd is fast:

Sun Sep 8 15:30:18 CEST 2013 update;

I did some tweaking to get a better bootime;

disabled plymouth;

# systemctl mask plymouth-.
# dracut -f -H -o plymouth

replaced firewalld by “static” iptables;

# yum install iptables-services
# systemctl mask firewalld.service
# systemctl enable iptables.service
# systemctl enable ip6tables.service

My /home was still on a regular harddisk I move it to the ssd.
