The kernel itself takes only a few seconds to boot. Reompiling is for improving runtime performance, not boot time. It's the services launched by 'init' that take long - not the kernel modules. I remember reading a proposal to make them start in parallel. If you want to tweak with your distro, I suggest using Fedora Core. :) -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
