Hi guys, I'm back at work on my little linux box. Well, we have this problem of load time. It runs to about 3 minutes, which is rediculous, since for about 2 minutes 30 seconds, it's just sitting there picking it's nose. I've used vi to edit the /etc/lilo.conf file so that the timeout has been set from 1200 down to 10. This hasn't had any effect on my load time, though. Is there another setting in there I should look at? Could there be another reason for the problem? Am I stuck with this? Please say I'm not stuck. Smile. Help much appreciated as always.
