The code is available, sans documentation, here: http://www.moblin.org/downloads/super-read-ahead-002 I made a post asking about clarification of the usage (when do you run generate_filelist? How do you actually use the program?) but haven't gotten a response. It seems a bit different from standard readahead, and has a kernel patch to go with it. srpms are available that people want to get into Fedora rawhide: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=464045. The package itself should be trivial, aside from the kernel issue of course. A post on the redhat mailing lists brings up some of the issues with this: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2008-October/msg00273.html Cheers, Daniel Moerner _______________________________________________ Debian-eeepc-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/debian-eeepc-devel
