Install InitNG on Ubuntu

InitNG 是一個 Linux 下用來加快系統開關機速度的東西，詳細可以看一下他的網站。考完試再來玩玩看。據說真的很有效，但是之前測試版的時候問題很多，不知道現在穩定了沒。剛剛看到這篇在 Ubuntu 上安裝的方法，Blog 起來。

Install InitNG on Ubuntu/Kubuntu

What is InitNG?

Initng is a full replacement of the old and in many ways deprecated sysvinit tool. It is designed with speed in mind because it does as much as possible asynchronously. In other words: It will boot your unix-system much faster, and give you more control and statistics over your system.

Installation

Installing InitNG is a snap.
Debian/Ubuntu packages are available here.
Get the newest version (currently 0.4.8) and install it with dpkg:

sudo dpkg -i initng_<version>_i386.deb

Configuration

Now you have to configure your boot-manager (GRUB) to use InitNG. Open /boot/grub/menu.lst in your favorite text-editor (with sudo!) and create a new boot-option by copying your current configuration und appending "init=/sbin/initng" to the kernel line.
Your new entry should look something like this:

title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.12-10-686-smp (initng)
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-10-686-smp root=/dev/hda3 ro quiet splash init=/sbin/initng
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.12-10-686-smp
savedefault
boot
