The time it takes for Linux to load is measured from the message "LILO Loading Linux" to the message "INIT version whatever booting". I'm sure that does not take more than 3-5 seconds on your system, given your configuration. The rest of the time is taken in starting various services. an NT machine here that runs just an SMTP server takes almost double the time than a linux machine that runs sendmail (old comparison - that linux machine hasn't been rebooted for the past 4 months, whereas the NT machine reboots once a week ;-) Having said that, reduce the number of services that your machine starts on bootup. Run tksysv/ntsysv and remove the services that you don't want. Get rid of NFS/Autofs etc. If yours is a standalone machine, you probably don't need any of the services listed there, except maybe sendmail. Binand PS: And next time, ditch the Dear Sir/Madam part. Sounds awkward, you know. _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
