I'm skeptical that it would offer any improvement. If you look at what the init process does (besides loading the kernel, of course), basically the system spawns a number of deamons/programs/etc in rapid succerssion. One would think that in terms of head movement there would be more time spent finding the things to load than any fragmentation there might be in the things themselves. > raju -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
