I'm in the middle of moving for the next week or so, so I
wont have time to try much. I spoze the boot also depends a
lot on the hardware, which right now is a 166 AMD socket 7 atx.
I've wondered if a scsi drive would speed up the boot much.
I've also wondered about the startup scripts you mention. a
lotta stuff looks like its for networks on my solo system.
even my ppp driver takes longer than 40 seconds, and often
hasta try 3-6 times to get a 'connect'. but then, I'm in a
remote rural area with only a 56k which usually does 44000
but sometimes dulls down to 28800.
