Re: [Gumstix-users] Start scripts

[zigzagjoe <zig...@gm...>]

I normally disable bluetooth and audio stuff(forget the name, I remove the
packages outright), you could go into /etc/init.d/networking, find the line
with "ifup -a on it", and appending an "&" to send that to background,
however if any init scripts (ntpdate particularly) need net access and
Ethernet is not connected (wireless doesn't start up in time), they will
fail. It does speed it up considerably however...outside of that, i don't
know of any that can be disabled without messing with stuff.(loosing
functionality and such)

an alternate way that could be done would be removing ifup -a and adding

# start up loopback
ifup lo
# start up ethernet
ifup eth0
# start up wifi
ifup wlan0

assuming you have eth and wifi; and if that connection will not be connected
normally add a & (or in the case of wireless, don't ifup it period[might
this save power? dunno]) so that it can time out in the background.

i can't help but think there is a better way though as routers or nsulgs
start up in a matter of seconds and this has a superior processor even...
