I'm not experiencing quite as much as what their saying right now. Is there any link that you can give me so that I could learn how to speed up my booting process? Just for info: I'm only a beginner to FreeBSD and definitely to Unix and I've installed it on my AMD Athlon 1.2 ghz, with 384 SDRAM, and 20 Gb drive. I've already read the FreeBSD handbook's essential parts for a typical users and I'm thinking if I've missed something very important about speeding up boot process. I already know how to make install the kernel but I don't know what lines should I comment out. Anyway, does commenting out such lines affects my booting process? Please help me sir. I want to make the most out of my FreeBSD system. And one last thing, I know this might sound ignorant on my part but... could you tell how to run multiple programs in one log-in prompt? I didn't acctualy understand how virtual consoles works so every time I'm playing mp3 on mpg123, I will have to press the F keys to login to another prompt just to be able to run another program.
