I have some questions about this new feature in Intrepid.

When would the image be created? At boot up or shutdown? Would this make booting up/shutting down the computer, slow? I can manage to shut down in less than 30secs w/o closing any programs and boot up in 40+secs with compiz + emerald + screenlets.

After making an image, would it continue to make an image every time for boot up or shut down?

How would it check if the current kernel is the same as the last image made? When would this "check" happen? Since probably this would be like a once-performed feature, it always have to check if the same kernel is used and put that as the "last successful boot".

Or would this be a "system restore-like" feature where it will monitor every move you make and save as often as it can?

If anyone here knows how this feature actually works, please share it with us. Thanks! :D

I would imagine it would create it after you login, because that way there's no doubt you've successfully logged in ;)

I also thought about that, BUT, they could also probably have made it to be created at shutdown. Have no idea really. just asking. :D
