Ad Terras Per Aspera

I was having a discussion in #ubuntu-devel about bootchart and in how well in detail it measures the boot up process, so I suggested that it should be added to LiveCDs as to measure a ‘stock’ setup more easier. The IO records wouldn’t be valid against anything but other LiveCDs, but doing this could make testing random machine’s performance a lot easier.

Jeff Schroeder wants this to be an option on the boot menu, and thinks that it should “have a little wizard to email the bootchart back to ubuntu.org” and Brandon Hale wants Oliver Grawert to add the ability to use bootcharts to hwdb.
