How about linux when hybernating? > > Amichai, look in to /etc/rc5.d and see what you can remove, press esc and tell > us where it hangs the most time (bootsplash yes). Let's see where can we can remove start-up time: * kernel startup time: any way to reduce this without adding it back in modules load time? * initrd: this has becomes the standard in distros kernels. In most setups it is actually unnecessary if the kernel was well-built. Maybe a smarter install procedure would use initrd only when necessary? I figure approx 2-3 seconds can be saved here, but maybe more * parallelizing services startup: LSB 1.3 finally requires services to declare dependecies one on another. This would is intended to allow in the "future" to run some of those scripts in parallel if they don't need each other. As many of them. Thus if dhcp hangs waiting for network everything still hangs. But if sendmail hangs becasuse of name setup problem other scirpts can run. * use a lighter desktop :-) -- Tzafrir Cohen +---------------------------+ http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/ |vim is a mutt's best friend| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------+ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
