Load time is rediculous

[Kerry Hoath]

Remember to rerun lilo after editing t he config file to update the map
installer.
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.
