I've got an FC3 "everything install, latest updates" system that has
never had prelink run on it, unless it was run by the installer,

MB, 80GB Maxtor IDE disk.
As root, I ran "time prelink -av > foo".
Wallclock was 2 minutes 16 seconds, CPU was 14 seconds. The system
was responsive on another console while prelink was running.
The output file contained one line,
"Laying out 758 libraries in virtual address space 41000000-50000000".
There was some console output complaining about Firefox and Mozilla
and unable to locate dependent somethings.
That doesn't sound to me as if a full prelink was performed. I've
just run 'prelink -av' on a recently installed RHEL4 system. There
were hundreds of lines of 'Prelinking <pathname>' output.
With a Pentium III running at 850MHz this took 45 minutes 38 seconds
of real time and 39 minutes 49 seconds of CPU.

Strange! What would keep the full prelink from happening?
I'll run it again and use "--force" this time.

OK, I ran it again. "time prelink -av --force > foo"
I took 2 minutes 42 seconds, CPU was 16 seconds. Again, only one line
in the output file.
Maybe a difference between FC3 and FC4? Maybe FC3 prelink is broken?
