http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/prelink-howto.xml explains it, although it misses out the part about it speeding up the reduction of your system to a useless wreck with a broken glibc :( Apparently, prelinking is less of a benefit than it used to be. I can't say I've noticed any difference having removed it this wekk and may well not reinstall it when glibc is fixed. I suspect a lot will feel the same. > Or maybe Alan, if he's done polishing his humility plugin :p What make you think he's got one... or even know what it is :) -- Neil Bothwick Sir!
