I have an FC3RC5 install on an old P-II running at 233mhz, and the udev start in the bootup is the slowest single thing to get started by an order of magnitude. Can someone tell me a good reason udev wastes as much time as the post does checking 383 megs of memory, which is very nearly a minute even just for udev? If its to be used, its got to speed itself up, a LOT!. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
