For the desktop there is IMHO another possibility which would make booting Linux appear even faster for the user: Start X right after all essential stuff for X is started and let the other stuff start afterward. E.g. the following stuff I have installed could be started after switching to X (and allow the user to login of course!): cron, anacron, atd, fetchmail, cups, httpd, irda, ntpd, postgresql, postfix, sshd, smb I know this breaks the current init concept somehow and I'm not sure if this would be easily possible without breaking compatibility (severely). Well probably one could have two /etc/rc scripts: the first one starts the processes which need to be started before switching to X and the second one then starts the other stuff? Maybe someone else has a nice idea? Combined with the suggested parallel starting of processes this could make Linux (appear) to boot really fast :) -- Michael Reinsch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://mr.uue.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------
