I want to make it boot faster

[shuantsu]

My linux lite is taking a while to boot. Can I make it faster?

Sometimes the networking.service is taking almost 20sec.
I wanted it to boot faster, what can I do?

Hallo! Das dauert bei mir ca. 1min. 40sek., es ist doch kein Lichtschalter.  Der Speicher kann vielleicht um 4GB verdoppelt werden. Beste Grüße, K.H.

First call for reports of slow boot time is this post.
It includes advice on disabling startup services and fixing IP addresses to trim a little time.

A command suggested in that post is

Code:
