I guess I still don't understand the need for this. I just did a test on my laptop and it took 18 seconds from the time I pushed enter from grub to a login prompt. This included udev, dbus, hal, sshd, nfsd, but not X, ntp, or bringing up my wifi card. If I cut the boot time in half and rebooted my system seven times a day (I rarely boot it more than twice, normally once.), I will save one minute. If this is done for the challenge, I can understand that, but I don't think that the the benefit is significant. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
