[Voyage-linux] quick voyage boot

[Solomon Asare]

Hi,
I don't know eactly what is it that u did.
If i do (u can put them in a file and make it
executable):

/etc/init.d/networking restart
echo "networkig done"

it takes a long time for the networking to complete
after which "networking done" is displayed.

On the other hand if i do:

/etc/init.d/networking restart &
echo "networkig done"

"networking done" is displayed immediately whilst
/etc/init.d/..... keeps running. You may go further in
silencing it by sending the output to /dev/null.

Please post to the list to benifit from a lot more
people.


Best Regards,
solo.
