[mythtv-users] fastest Myth start

[Les Gondor]

Others may find this link informative:

It describes the process of using 'make' to start the init.d scripts in 
parallel based on their interdependencies (starting ntp, nfs and samba 
in parallel, but only after the network interfaces have started).

Eliminating unnecessary services entirely is probably far more fruitful. 
There's no need for samba startup if you're not sharing files with 
Windows boxes.

In my own case, I'd have to count the 30 second delayed autologin of 
mythtv, so I'd probably lose :-)

Cheers,
Les Gondor
