A quick fix to make the boot scripts run faster is to change your /bin/sh to some other shell that is faster than /bin/bash, such as /bin/dash. This can be done by installing 'dash' and answering the debconf questions, or by later running 'dpkg-reconfigure dash'. Be warned that using dash as /bin/sh is a really good way of finding buggy shell scripts that contain bashisms. -- Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
