Sir,
I've heard a lot of comments about the booting
process of freebsd, that it is much faster than
booting into Linux. I'm not experiencing quite as much
as what their saying right now. Is there any link that
you can give me so that I could learn how to speed up
my booting process? Just for info: I'm only a beginner
to FreeBSD and definitely to Unix and I've installed
it on my AMD Athlon 1.2 ghz, with 384 SDRAM, and 20 Gb
drive. I've already read the FreeBSD handbook's
essential parts for a typical users and I'm thinking
if I've missed something very important about speeding
up boot process.
I already know how to make install the kernel but
I don't know what lines should I comment out. Anyway,
does commenting out such lines affects my booting
process?
Please help me sir. I want to make the most out
of my FreeBSD system. And one last thing, I know this
might sound ignorant on my part but... could you tell
how to run multiple programs in one log-in prompt? I
didn't acctualy understand how virtual consoles works
so every time I'm playing mp3 on mpg123, I will have
to press the F keys to login to another prompt just to
be able to run another program.
Thanks a lot,
Mark
