Bug#63006: Updating locate database slows down initial boot process.

I don't know what exactly do you refer. The locate database update is
performed by a script named /sbin/setup.sh in the base system, which
removes itself afterwards, this file is executed only if it exists, by
these lines in /etc/init.d/rcS
if [ -x /sbin/setup.sh ]
then
/sbin/setup.sh
fi
so I think just commenting out the line which adds the setup.sh
file to the base2_2.tgz file should work:
diff -r -u boot-floppies.orig/basedisks.sh boot-floppies/basedisks.sh
--- boot-floppies.orig/basedisks.sh Sun Apr 23 09:07:42 2000
+++ boot-floppies/basedisks.sh Fri May 5 17:25:35 2000

Is this safe and robust enough?
