But it is taking an annoyingly long time to do that. Like an hour or more. : I have some patches to help speed this up (and possibly remove : some of the directory cat'ing and replacing it with more : variable input). I've hacked my rc scripts to input less entropy (which is still excruciatingly slow). : fyi: try rebooting your system via 'init 6' or 'shutdown -r now' : which will write the /entropy file, thus avoiding the : code which is currently giving you problems. Except when it doesn't, which it usually doesn't. This is for halt, reboot and C-A-Delete.
