kde-head Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 su root edit /etc/lilo.conf enter a new line - "compact" (without the double quotes) /sbin/lilo (to apply your changes) reboot. note how the initial 30 second odd delay that used to occur with the kernel was booting now occurs more or less instantaneously.

adamw Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Another quick way to cut boot times is to disable the harddrake service, if you don't change the hardware in your system often: chkconfig harddrake off as root. If you're going to change any hardware *turn it back on first!* chkconfig harddrake on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
