I finally was able to figure out how to clone my OS.
It does seem to boot faster as well as bring up apps faster.
I have another question though. Is there any way to improve the web browser experience when bringing up web pages. It still seems as slow or slower than booting normally (as opposed to booting from the cloned OS) when bringing up web pages.
I have tried different browser settings as well as Auto. I also have the virtual memory extended to 128K in control panel.
Would a swap file on the memory card fix this problem or does the browser still kinda suck (although browsing in Diablo is a little better than Chinook as far as crashing and slowness goes).
How do I create a swap file? I tried following the instructions I searched for in the forum. I think I did it right but how can I be sure I did? Is there any way to check if I did it right?
Or, is there a way to increase the virtual memory more than 128K?
Will this fix the browsing experience or is that something that still has to be figured out in a future update of the browser?
EDIT: I found out from another website how to determine the swap file size.
~# free
gave me the following:
total used free shared buffers
mem: 126796 124656 2140 0 1572
swap: 423684 0 423684
total: 550480 124656 425824
So I guess its working but browsing still seems slow Any suggestions to help that?
