Improving Slackware Boot Time© Copyright Darrell Anderson. (Spring – Summer 2008) Boot times are longer than usual with Slackware 12.1. The delay occurs in the /etc/rc.d/rc.M script: 1. Update any existing icon cache files 2. Update mime database 3. SCIM and other GTK+ input methods like this file kept updated Comment those items out of rc.M and copy the same text into a script called house-cleaning. Place the script in /etc/cron.daily. Also comment out and copy to the same script the sections for running ldconfig and fc-cache. Then add update-desktop-database (from /var/log/setup) to this script. All of this helps reduce boot time yet keep the system updated and orderly. Files: /etc/cron.daily/house-cleaning Finis. |
