Or is it perfectly normal? Unix domain sockets are a special type of file that can be read and written to, to gain all of the advantages of sockets without the overhead of TCP/IP. X and its font servers use them, as well as xmms and mysql (right off the top of my head..probably lots of others). In the Debian kernel_image_2.2.10, unix domain sockets are compiled in as a module and kmod is loading them as a module because some daemon that is starting needs them. On my system, I see that 108 things are using unix domain sockets. My smallest system here is a P-150, but I'll agree that there is a noticable boot-time delay when loading this module. In discussion right now on debian-devel is the idea of using ash instead of bash for /bin/sh. Since ash is faster/uses less memory than bash, it could significantly decrease the bootup time of your system. -- Stephen Pitts [EMAIL PROTECTED] webmaster - http://www.mschess.org

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Jonas, 'lspci' is not needed and will not work on the 2.0.x kernels. They need a file in the /proc heirarchy which was introduced in the 2.2.x kernels. Cant answer your INIT question. Regards, Jor-el Human cardiac catheterization was introduced by Werner Forssman in 1929. Ignoring his department chief, and tying his assistant to an operating table to prevent her interference, he placed a ureteral catheter into a vein in his arm, advanced it to the right atrium [of his heart], and walked upstairs to the x-ray department where he took the confirmatory x-ray film. In 1956, Dr. Forssman was awarded the Nobel Prize. On 1 Aug 1999, Jonas Steverud wrote: Debian Potato. Last queation first: what's lspci?
