What do you think guys if someone did the following to speed the boot time in RHL?
- Boot kernel (uncompressible)
- Run the init scripts S00 -> S50
- Start X + XDM + UserLogin
- Continue init scripts S51->S99 in background
I think this should have been done a long time ago.
Is that really so easy to do, though?
X is normally managed by init, wheras the init scripts are managed by /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.
When rc reaches S51, it forks a children which continues the job, detaches it and returns. init continues its job and starts X, while rc is still starting daemons.
