I have said in the past that I will have a look at parallel startup, but currently there are other points that is more critical and a factor influencing the speed that needs attention. Also, it would be nice if somebody who have used Gentoo for a while, and are better than me at writing, would make some effort to get the docs updated, more clear, and maybe add some of the missing man pages. This should already take some of the sting out of it all. If somebody is interested, I will gladly answer questions, etc. --=20 Martin Schlemmer Gentoo Linux Developer, Desktop/System Team Developer Cape Town, South Africa --=-Nc4wLRcGyY9wIvlnEvCj Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQA+suTtqburzKaJYLYRAk/MAJ9v0zG1HwSxNUcOSPXqcj88PARNHQCfTCGt wJ/9W1u7vPbju4+G3SXOCkM= =9+kd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-Nc4wLRcGyY9wIvlnEvCj--
