- This is a special mode in which the first load specially prepared minimal kernel (without GUI) and works off a script that searches for media (DVD, USB-HDD) with an assembly and installs the "full" kernel.
- + Pros:
- 1. Fast loading on USB 1.x. Instead of conventional 5-10 min USB 1.2 - about 1 minute.
- 2. Less memory consumption (for Strelec assembly - less on ~ 250Mb).
- 3. Reduced CPU requirements (Native Mode kernel patched to work with the CPU starting from P4 / Athlon), scanning is disabled NX-Bit.
- -Minuses:
- 1. Binding to the carrier (if extraction - PC "hangs").
- 2. Slower core work (because everything is loaded not from the fast RAM-disk, and c is a slow media). In practice, special "brake" is not felt.
- 3. For compatibility with older CPU is disabled and multi-core support PAE.
- Note: On modern PC is better to use normal startup.
