Inface booting is really | fast. | | Thanks | | Rohit Rohit: You mean to say that when you use 'halt' instead of 'shutdown -h', your machince boots faster? Roger: I don't think that 'shutdown -h' = 'halt' Rohit is not invoking halt. 'shutdown -h -o' = 'halt' Rohit: Can you try 'shutdown -h -o' and let us know what's the result?
