The only thing I can add to this thread is that the actual boot process takes longer time the more initscripts and such improves. Just for fun I installed RH5.2 a couple of months ago, and was amazed how fast it was up and running. I know it's not a fair comparison between ML8.x and RH5.2, but I experienced almost the same with a LFS system I built. It would be cool with a sort of "speedstart" system, much like the M$ W2K hibernate stuff (shouldn't be that difficult?). Or, maybe less intricate boot scripts, options to not have the kernel modules gzipped, etc, etc... ? -- Regards // Oden Eriksson
