By adding LSB headers to my init.d scripts, running insserv to reorder the symlinks in /etc/rcS.d/ and /etc/rc2.d/, and then patch /etc/init.d/rcS and /etc/init.d/rc to start processes with the same order value in parallel, I was able to reduce the boot time by 62%. I expect to be able to speed it up even further by doing real dependency tracking and starting more processes in parallel. See the initscripts-ng mailing lists for details and patches. Based on this initial prototype, I believe it is a very good idea for debian to add dependency info into the init.d scripts. Using the LSB format seem to me like the best approach. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
