Now check this, after having added quite a few usb network related modules as I'm trying to get into a wap11 via the usb port, which will allow me to do a reset to factory, something I cannot do from the snmp interface because that interface requires the old password, something I've forgotten in the 8 months since I last used this device. #> time ./makeit [snip about 200k of make output] All done! Edit grub.conf, reboot and chose your kernel at the grub prompt real 8m42.183s user 4m21.606s sys 1m11.805s [root@coyote linux-2.6.20-rc4]# Now, I could have done something to speed this system up that's not related to selinux, but the only things I've done is to rip out the livna versions of mplayer and mplayerplugin with --nodeps, and put them back in from dries before they were missed, and then restart firefox from its own file menu pulldown, (normal quits and re-runs didn't seem to do it) and now both foxnews and cnn video's now play, although cnn's videos act like the server is in need of quite a bit more iron in its diet. Now, somebody, preferably Dr. Smalley, please explain to me why I should run something that takes a 9 minute compile and makes it take 27 minutes to do it. And the rest of the system just plain feels snappier. Go ahead, I'm waiting... In the meantime I'm gonna reboot and see if dmesg says it found that wap11 on the end of a usb cable plugged into the front panel. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
