I'm not sure whether a sarcastic overtone was intended, but I like it anyway. :-) This (home) machine is switched off when it's not in use, so the startup time is more conspicuous to me. It's not my primary motive for using DMA, but if I can exploit it that way I'll be doubly pleased. > I'm curious now: how many seconds to when your root FS is mounted? > That would determine the upper bound on the improvement. 5 seconds. hwtools runs after 46 seconds. > Is most of > the time spent building module dependencies? How would I measure that? -- Cheers, Clive -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
