Package: readahead-fedora
Version: 2:1.5.6-1
Severity: important
as the debian wiki states, the way to invoke readahead now is via
/.readahead_collect, this does not work, and results in it saying that
permission is denied. I am doing this as root, as I imagine tht's what is
required since it has you installing a package which always requires root
access.
Since the thing does not do anything, it's clearly not working as it should,
and thus is prettty useless.
#/.readahead_collect

No, /.readahead_collect is a file that acts as a flag. It needs to be created
to
profile the next boot.
Also, guessing you refer to http://wiki.debian.org/BootProcessSpeedup, that
page is pretty out of date.
The latest and most accurate[1] documentation of the package is always at
/usr/share/doc/<package>/

No, everything is automated now.
