> there has been a lot of interest lately on tecniques to obtain a faster > boot It depends of what is machine meant to do. If it's just a X workstation with some services run just for testing purposes you can start just after syslog and xfs-xtt and X server. I managed to lower the start time to 23 seconds (from 35 seconds) - what I need is to be able to login as fast as it is possible, but have the services started. I modified runlevel 2, so that it runs syslog, xfs-xtt, gdm which forks off and them I pause for 5 seconds. During this time I can login fast without any glitches and have WM started. After that, normal startup sequence is being completed and I don't care how many services have to be started. I'd like this feature to be out-of-the-box by just saying in base config or boot scripts debconf that this machine is workstation. I'm not subscribe to this list, so please CC me. -- Bartosz Zapalowski bartek@klepisko.eu.org
