I've just installed bash_2.0-2 and sysklogd_1.3-14 among other things (but these are relevant to the question) and generally the bootup sequence hangs for 10 seconds, just after syslogd is started, and just before klogd starts. There are no error messages in any of the logs, and there is no abnormal amount of CPU usage by syslogd when it runs, so I don't think that there's anything wrong with the daemon, maybe something in the /etc/init.d/syslogd script that might be causing the slight interruption. Has anyone else noticed this, and is it documented somewhere that I might read something about it? I have everything else set up properly (I'm almost sure) as there are not other errors or hiccups occuring elsewhere. Can anyone shed any light on this situation for me ?
Something else I've noticed, which has piqued my curiosity. My system is a PPro 200 with two fairly similar 2.1 gig SCSI HD's (Quantum Fireball and Quantum Empire) on a NCR53c810 scsi adaptor and I have these drives partitioned up (linux, win95, win-nt). On one 800 meg partition, I've installed Redhat 4.1, and on another 800 meg partition (the other drive) I have installed Debian 1.2 with some recent upgrades. I've installed a few upgrades on both systems, generally to libc-5.4.23, binutils-2.7.0.9, X11R6-3.2, ld.so-1.8.10, etc, and also have installed Accelerated X server and Common Desktop Environment with similar setups on both systems (I was bored one day, and started experimenting...) Now, I've noticed something, and this is no professional experiment with stopwatches or anything, but it seems as if the Debian release is faster at running certain things (kernel compile, starting CDE, etc) and definitely have noticed (from running "top" or "ps aux", etc.) that %CPU and %MEM totals are generally lower (like up to 50% lower) with the Debian release of linux. What gives, I thought all releases were reasonably similar in operation ? Is there something magical that the Debian developers have done with linux, that has escaped the other chaps releasing linux OS, ie Redhat, Slackware, et al ? -- Regards mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Amateur Radio: VE7JBT
