Yo,
Just to chime in here...one of the guys tells me he has a patch to
module-init-tools that shaves about a second or so off boot. I'm ok with
taking this kind of stuff, and encourage it! But I don't think modprobe
is really where we're spending all of our time on boot.
Jon.
Most time seems to be in kernel booting, udev and x starting (+gdm)
@Adam Jackson
can you make that patched X version available in Fedora 8 as a
unstable package? or just somewhere that it doesn't get in the
official repository? i would like to give it a spin (without
installing rawhide if possible)
