From a theoretical standpoint, not really. It's not loading the binary from disk that makes loading OpenOffice.org slow. It's the actual steps it has to take to initalize itself that take so long. Cat'ing the binary to /dev/null does not cause this to happen, therefore, I wouldn't think that it would be of much use. -- -- Edward Guldemond GPG Key: 0x4E505B0F Key fingerprint: 4CAC 6740 C1CD 3CE4 6CA0 34E9 B3B7 18EC 4E50 5B0F msg12800/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
Preload Openoffice.org at X startup
Hi all - anyone got any hints on preloading Openoffice.org when X starts, sort of like the galeon -s option ... ? It's great, n'all, but a bit of a pig to start on my 550 K6-3! Failing any built-in, background server type functionality, would "cat > /dev/null &" in my .xinitrc be of any /real/ use? Thanks for any suggestions! -- jc -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
