[Voyage-linux] quick voyage boot

[Solomon Asare]

Hi,
the starting scripts are in /etc/init.d/ directory.

For example in the networking file the start option
has this: if ifup -a; then

I guess this could be made: if ifup -a &; then

so that the bringing up of interfaces will not hold up
the boot process. Of course, any subsequent action
that is network dependent may fail should that action
might have been delayed.

Please test b/4 deploying. It's a feature I have used
in the past on only a few occassions.

All the best.

solomon.
