Hello,

1.  Can you make boot processes run in parallel?
2.  How do you use profile and quiet flags for booting, doesn't seem to work?

Thanks.

1.) Check the daemon line in /etc/rc.conf and before each daemons add '@'.  This causes the boot process not to wait for the next daemon.  Be careful with this command as some daemons have to be run before others and some daemons cause others to load (like hal loads dbus and acpid).
2) Im not sure what quite flags are, but if you want a nice splash screen like in other distros (ubuntu, fedora...), look into gensplash or fbsplash (I haven't done either as it requires a lot of work to get them going).

Hello,

profile - profiles your startup items to decrease boot time, doesn't seem to have any effect on Arch.
quiet - hides ouput when booting, again doesn't seem to work on Arch.

Thanks.
