I think I might have mentioned this to you before, but if you think your boot speed is fast compared with SUSE now, put some @s in front of some of the things in your boot process. Try: DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network hal @sshd @crond @avahi-daemon @mysqld @samba @sensors kdm3) Note: - I removed netfs -- do you need mounting of network filesystems in your boot process? - I removed dbus -- as I said several posts back, you shouldn't have both hal and dbus, since hal starts dbus. - the @ signs will background processes. I asked it to start your log, network, hal, and kdm3 normally. I don't think the ordering of anything else particularly matters here, so I put @ signs in front of them. This will probably make your boot time about half of what it is now. Cheers. -AT On Thu, Apr 23, 2009 at 11:46 AM, David C.
