You can edit the config file till you are blue in the fi ngers but unless you rerun lilo the changes will not go into the map files. If you are loading modules that you do not need; this can take time too but it seems lilo is the culprate. My system boots from off to booted in 30 seconds; That i ncludes hard disk spin up times; ram test; all that sort of st uff and I also have a fare few demons running. Regards, Kerry.
