Yes, you should be able to remove netmount. That's for if you have any |
| 8 |
NFS or the like filesystems, which you apparently don't. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
local contains whatever misc. stuff you want to put in it (by adding it |
| 11 |
to /etc/conf.d/local), normally nothing, unless you've put something in it |
| 12 |
to run. As such, you should be able to safely remove it from the list, but |
| 13 |
it's not going to shorten your boot time but maybe a fraction of a second, |
| 14 |
as it's normally empty. The idea is that it gives you somewhere to put |
| 15 |
your own little scripts or whatever, so you can load them at boot without |
| 16 |
having to create an entire boot service skeleton complete with the usual |
| 17 |
service start, stop, restart, etc functions. Like I said, you can safely |
| 18 |
remove it if you've put nothing in it, but it's not going to change your |
| 19 |
bootup time noticeably at all, and it's convenient to have if you ever |
| 20 |
have something without a full bootscript you want to start, so you might |
| 21 |
just leave it there. It's up to you. |
