I tried it on my laptop, and it gave me some error messages about scripts |
| 12 |
including /etc/init.d/clock, though after boot everything seemed to have |
| 13 |
started anyway. |

In any case, it didn't seem to speed up boot significantly. I suppose if |
| 16 |
you had dhcp requests going during boot and you weren't on a network, this |
| 17 |
might allow other things to boot in the meantime, but I have most |
| 18 |
non-essential, time-consuming bootscripts disabled by default. |
