           Summary: Significant faster booting
           Product: initscripts

          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2

        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


After modifying rc.sysinit, my system (PIII 650 @ 728 with SCSI disk) boots 15
seconds faster.

depmod is run every time the computer boots, while there is a "cache" in
modules.dep. If this file isn't outdated, there is no need to run depmod.
I replaced depmod -A with:

KRN=`uname -r`;if (( `find /lib/modules/$KRN/ -cnewer
/lib/modules/$KRN/modules.dep | wc -l` != 0 )); then depmod -A; fi

This might need some finetuning (maybe the existence of modules.dep should be
checked) but I think the idea is clear.
