It's already there, isn't it? I know that it works on one Mepis start up service, where it checks a time server. If you don't have the box plugged into a network and you press ctrl-c, it skips the service and goes on with the start up. I have not tried that for anything else.
Long boot times don't bother me because I don't have to boot often. Thanks to power management, I don't even have to boot my laptop. It goes down only when I insert a pcmcia card while it's sleeping or when I have to present and the external video is not on. Everything else stays up until I change a kernel or the power fails. Usually, it's the power. On Monday 27 June 2005 05:27 pm, Dustin Puryear wrote: > My favorite FreeBSD start-up feature: You can Control-C a service startup. > Linux needs that. :) >
