Well all my exams (including lab) are finally over.. so I set out to tweaking my system. I removed FC-1 from my system (as it had too many issues and gentoo was a better alternative) and used its partition as my /usr (so now I have enough space for Gentoo).
I wanted my system to boot fast as compared to XP. The first thing I did was to find entries in init.d which were not being used and removed them. Another thing which I noticed ,was, that my kernel was 1.6 MB. So I set out trying to make it smaller. I excluded a lot of things from the kernel and modularized the rest (which were needed) and in the end I was left with a kernel which was 980 KB.
And by the way Happy Diwali :)
