(the boot quiet option doesn`t work). </blockquote><div> you where talking about kernelmodules... there are no debug _modules_ that get loaded by default. </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> and about the boot progress itself.. i understand that alot of stuff will needs to be loaded but does it really all have to start at once at boot? can`t the CORE ESSENTIALS be started together with gnome als often used programs pre cached so that the boot is fast and the desktop starts fast. lets take bluetooth for example.. i don`t need to have that on all the time. i even SWITCHED back to wired mouses and keyboards because my bluetooth desktop set wasn`t even working (that was with FC6.. don`t know for FC7). just start the services when a user needs them and autostart it when a user often needs it... will require some coding but will work alot faster simply because there is less to start AND it`s really only starting what the user uses most. </blockquote><div> again my reply was refering to the "only load kernelmodules that I need" statement. </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> would be cool :) Mark. <div>2007/4/3, dragoran <<a href="mailto:drago01@gmail.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> drago01@gmail.com</a>>:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div> Mark wrote: > i wasn`t expecting so much reactions on this topic.. > the more the better though. > > but i think that the boot time can be brought down alot just be providing > some more options for the boot progress.. for example.. let the users > choose > which kernel modules should load.. > things like that could make a change this does not make any sense... the kernel / udev should only load needed modules everything else is a bug </div> -- fedora-devel-list mailing list <a href="mailto:fedora-devel-list@redhat.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">fedora-devel-list@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list </a> </blockquote></div> -- fedora-devel-list mailing list <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="mailto:fedora-devel-list@redhat.com">fedora-devel-list@redhat.com</a> <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list" target="_blank"> https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list</a> </blockquote></div>
