I am slowly working my way through the HOWTO files on the linux documentation site, beginning with Config-HOWTO, which recommends starting with my kernel and hard disk performance.
The problem is that section 2.6 recommends adding hdparm commands to the following file: /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit Of course, I have no such file on my system, and it would be futile to visit all 7 of the rc#.d directories and grep for the hdparm command because that command was not on my system until a few moments ago. Would the hdparm command add any performance (i.e. 32 bit access) to a 1997 pentium system with 1.5GB hard drive? If so, where is the appropriate place to enter hdparm commands? Thanks in advance for your help. - g
