Will BionicPup32 start faster if it is installed?


Now, BionicPup32 is on a bootable USB stick. It take almost 8 minutes to start up. Will it start up faster if it is installed onto a USB flash stick?

Thank you.

Are you using a 32 bit machine? If not then use a 64 bit version. The answer is yes, things will run faster from a hard drive/SSD then they will from a USB device. Especially if the port is only USB2.

Thank you.
Yes. It is. The OS is 32 and the port and flash stick are USB2 since all of the parts or components are more than 10 years old. I should not complain about it. OK, I realize it now. No complains anymore.

Startup time depends a lot on your computer. What's the specs for your pc?

Pick the frugal install option. Easier to fix.

Realize now the problem is because of my old setup.

""Full" installs are used on systems with minimal resources (and particularly RAM)."
Appreciate your goodwill trying to help me. My set up is inadequate to run a frugal install. CPU, RAM, HDD and MB etc. all are 14 to 15 years old. In my case, have to use full install.

My machine is a set up of some usable parts left over from some disused computers 15 years ago. Unable to run 64b. OS.
