The FERMI@Elettra injector, comprised of a high-gradient, s-band, photo-cathode rf gun, the PC gun driven laser, the first two accelerating sections, controls, and suite of diagnostics has been commissioned in 2009. The electron beam has been characterized in terms of charge, energy, energy spread and transverse emittance, and results are provided in this paper. In early 2010 linac commissioning up to 250MeV continued, and by using the RF deflecting cavity, the slice parameters of the beam have been measured. Moreover, studies on the laser pulse shaping and the relative optimization of the longitudinal ramp profile required by the nominal bunch configuration are presented in this paper.
