Unless I missed it, which is quite possible, ldconfig was not ome of the options you could turn off with pkgtool. Besides it is no harder to edit the init scripts then go through the install questions another time.

equinox, thanks for the info.

I actually prefer being able to read through the startup scripts myself and see where commands are and what is going on. That is what I like about Slackware Linux. I enjoy learning where things are and how they get their jobs done.

assuming you meant gen2 makes you learn more, then here are a few reasons i'm using slk instead of gen2:

1. i heard slk was the most unix-like (reads challenging) distro out there. futhermore, if the number of threads in the slk forum compared to other distro forums were any indication, it would be the hardest distro, at least among those that have their own forum here.
2. i once tried to install gen2 by following the instructions on the cd. when i arrived at the part where it says to run emerge, i found that it was an invalid command.
3. i think i learned a lot building lfs.

btw, what do ppl mean when they say, "here's my 2 cents"? i've seen that a lot around here.

A colloquialism, that means "my small bit of input"

for some reason, my system waits like 10 seconds during:
"Going multiuser..."
I disabled ldconfig and fc-cache but still it takes like 45 seconds to get to xfce.

XPediTioN, it might be related to your network settings, but that would require a whole lot more info from you like how you connect to the net, number of network cards, dhcp or not, wireless, etc.

Obviously stuff for a new topic.

Gotta get to that porn asap, LOL

If you want to speed up the boot process a good way is to background processes in the startup scripts. You need to make sure that inet2 is run after inet1. You do this by putting section:
# Start networking daemons:
from rc.M inside inet1, do this after start and the default options.

By backgrounding the processes they still run but you get to your boot prompt a lot quicker.

What happened to bragging about uptime?

My box (server) was up 4 months till a thunderstorm killed my power last week.
