    boot time debian

    few days back I tried gentoo..
    could not make my sound card work in that ..so came back to debian .
    when I was using gentoo( for two days ) my computer was taking something around 25 seconds to boot ...the same programs I use now in debian ..but it takes 1min 5 secs
    this really annoys me..
    it will load many unnecessary modules and something which I don't understand ....it loads printer ..USBCORE..this will take some 10 secs ( donno what it is )
    so please help me..
    I want to make it faster
    please don't suggest me to go to ibm's site for fast boot ...http://www-128.ibm.com/developerwork...3-obg-BootFast
    It is based on redhat and I don't understand how to them in debian ..
    how to use update-rc.d ....
    please help me if you know this....many more might be interested in this...

    One suggestion I found after googling is add ..'&' after 'startup $i start ' in /etc/init.d/rc .....but I didn't find that line in my rc file and I added '&' at somewhere like '$ACTION start' that screwed my boot as it failed many dependencies...
    please help ..
    thankyou ......

    Disable that AppleTalk thing, it takes quite long to start...

    Regards,

    AppleTalk is a set of networking protocols developed by Apple Computer. I can't figure out why this was suggested however, since I didn't read anywhere in your post that you were running a Macintosh or that AppleTalk was loading at boot....

    I think it was suggested because for some reason, which I can't figure out, appletalk is installed by default in Debian and the boot does hang on it for about 30 secs on startup..

    apt-get remove netatalk will get rid of it, it's one of the first things I do after installing a new Debian system. even when I do a bare bones install this is in there.. are there really that many appletalk networks around ?

    you can try to remove some uneeded scripts in /etc/init.d/

    Code:
    update-rc.d -f  name remove
