Both of those items slow down a boot. In a virtual system, LFS with sysvinit scripts boot in less than 2 seconds, but I didn't measure it precisely. The first time that happened I thought it was broken and something was wrong. Much of the boot time in a conventional HW system is caused by probing the HW components. In a virtual system, that is much faster. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
