If you haven't done so already, now may be a good time to go through your kernel's configuration, read the "help" for each and every option, and make sure you are not enabling stuff that is not relevant to your context & desiderata. Did that a couple of years ago and found that kernel compile elapsed time was divided by a factor of 4-5! With nothing major running at the same time, kernel compiles that used to take over 2 hours now take less than 30 minutes (PIII - 650MHZ and 384M of RAM). Just make sure you save your .config file so you can start over if you screw up. CJ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
