Its not just the gnome processes and packages. Quote:
Even if your USB flash drive has got similar performance to the internal SSD, its going to be slower. USB uses far more CPU than a HDD/SDD, and you've CPU use is already maxed out for a lot of the boot process. BTW, there are a few hints as to how to improve boot speed here- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReducingDiskFootprint Quote:

Pity that the only guide I can find for how to get Xfce4 installed on top of the alternate install CD is outdated. Quote:
The Pentium Ds have the same problems that the P4s have- long pipeline, and very slow for the MHz rating. The Pentium D probably would be 'faster' for long complicated calculations, but the atom would be faster to react, and be faster for smaller, lighter tasks (like loading an OS). You cant just compare CPUs on GHz alone. Even if you could, the whole system needs to be taken into account- the old P4 could have a slower HDD and HDD system, slower memory, etc.. |

If you want the minimal install you need the netboot image. It will give you just enough OS to boot to. Text login and cli install what you want on from there.
Make a list before hand. This is a link all Ubuntu users should have; http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ The netboot link is for the minimal install. This link is from the "releases" link on the above linked page. http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/11.04/release/ You can get the alt install disk there. |

sudo apt-get install xfce synaptic (Whatever the thing is for the software centre) freedoom epiphany networkmanager synaptics Would it come with touchpad things? |
As I do not use a touch pad, I have no idea what touch screen things are.
The minimal install gives you the kernel and the dpkg tools and networking (wired). Everything else is up to you. Don't, for instance forget your xserver packages. |

I'd try to fix networking after hibernation. You can run any script after hibernation if that's what it takes to make it work.
ureadahead can be disabled, maybe e4rat makes it faster. |
