saurya_s Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 Hi guys Can I make Linux to boot very fast. Well I have an OS X as well and after a fix from here http://www.broadbandreports.com/for...de=flat~start=0 it boots in 50sec as compared to 2min 45sec without it. I assume there must be something similar to this for Linux. Does anybody know how to do it? I move my machine from work to home, so when I boot at home it takes a very long time to enable eth0. Can I disable it so that it boots very fast at home. So I guess if I do that, ti won't got to LAN when I boot there. I guess I can strart it from some command line. How can I do that? Thanks SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 go to mcc>System>DrakXServices and disable network at boot (maybe internet as well). After you boot with no eth0, from the commandline run ifup eth0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramfree17 Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 go to mcc>System>DrakXServices and disable network at boot (maybe internet as well). After you boot with no eth0, from the commandline run ifup eth0 cant you just move the network related scripts after the login console has been displayed? that will give the user a chance to start working while the network is being brought up. also, not all users can type their login at the exact moment the login screen is displayed. jmho. ciao!

Andrewski Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 I'll have to try this... adding "ifup ath0" to my xinitrc... do you think that would work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramfree17 Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 sounds like it would but i was really curious if just moving the network scripts below the other scripts. the services scripts are being read in /etc/rcX.d/ (iirc) where X is your run level. each scripts is prepended by either S## or K## wherein ## is the sequence scripts are being executed. im thinking maybe the network script which i think is given S10-S20 priority could be moved to say S90 if it would be executed after the script that presents the user login screen. its all theory right now so im sure im twisting a couple of facts. :D ciao!

inigo2 Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Shoot....I can't find the link right now, but on the IBM developers network site there's an article about speeding up the boot process. I have the link at home, so I can post it when I get there, but in the meantime, anyone else have the link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inigo2 Posted January 24, 2004 Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 This is the link I was talking about: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linu...ary/l-boot.html Hope it helps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
