Is this an active project? Is there any other fork of it?
While I'm willing to install it I see no entries in the wiki about it, it is only mentioned in youtube videos!
Not to undermine the topic starter / project maintainer, but you might want to try out systemd for a more structural solution.

It reduced boot time from 18 to 5 seconds!Specs:
AMD Turion x2 TL-52 - 1.6 Ghz
ATI moblity radeon HD 2400 -128MB
RAM: 1024MB
HDD: 150 GB 5400 RPM
would love to see any proof of those 5 sec

x:5:respawn:/bin/su YOURUSER -l -c "/bin/bash --login -c xinit >/dev/null 2>&1"
Speedup udev helps a little bit more. Compressing the /usr, i don't know if it helps.

I'm trying to fast boot to X with [LINK="https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Start_X_at_boot"]Start X at boot[/LINK]" with no avail.
I already tried in inittab:
x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/xdm -nodaemon
and
x:5:once:/bin/su username -l -c '/usr/bin/startx >/dev/null 2>&1'
Both of them doesn't work.
This following line works for me without quick-init:
x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/xdm -nodaemon
What am I missing?
Also, compressing the /usr folder, speeding up udev, does that decrease boot time with quick-init even more?
]]>(/etc/X11/)'xorg.conf' shouldn't even be used anymore.
Not true. It doesn't matter if you put your stuff in xorg.conf or in files in xorg.conf.d/, both work.
]]>Did you do it how explained in the wiki and did you use the new readahead-fedora package with the edited xorg.conf? My boot is quite fast now.
I don't know what wiki you refer to, neither : https://wiki.archlinux.de/title/Readahead-fedora , nor https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Readahead-fedora mention xorg.conf in any way.
Right now i might kick quick-init , as the pc now boots exactly as fast with redahead-fedora alone as it did with quick-init , 27secs finished gnome desktop
UPDATE:
Screw all this , fastest boot for my system is just simple plain arch init. 26 secs, readahead-fedora needs 2 secs more. I'll concentrate on usefull improvements like putting firefox in ramdisk for now
Did you do it how explained in the wiki and did you use the new readahead-fedora package with the edited xorg.conf? My boot is quite fast now.
Where is that new package? In AUR there is a more than 2 months old one, do you refer to that one?

to increment more your boot on ssd you can try sreadahead on ssd with kernel26-fastbootHi, do you know a way to use https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Readahead-fedora as it does not need patched kernel ?
However it does not work for me yet. Some dude put up a version of quick-init with fedora readahead in AUR, but quickly abondened the package as everything else he puts up, it did not work for me .... -> https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37879
Sry dude. I disowned the package, because it isn`t any faster then my readahead-fedora package with normal initscripts. Try installing readahead-fedora (With normal initscripts) and reboot twice. It is quite fast for me. Maybe I will once try again quick-init in combination with readahead. But starting udev in the background + readahead had a lot of problems with my hardware (Tested it with 4 different computers) -> isn`t that stable.
