Sometimes, it may be necessary to allow this "regeneration of ld.so.cache and modules.dependencies" process to take as much time as it needs to complete without our hacking the process at all, except for adding a command named "dma".

And, if you don't want to go through the complete procedure that is described in my previous post that is dated Sat Dec 29, 2007 3:22 pm, you can type "dma" (without the quotation marks) after the "vga=791" (without the quotation marks) command so that it looks like this "vga=791 dma" (without the quotation marks) and then do not type in the command "nomodregen=true" (without the quotation marks) after the command "vga=791" (without the quotation marks) and this will very significantly shorten the time that it takes for the "regeneration of ld.so.cache and modules.dependencies" process to complete.

This "regeneration of ld.so.cache and modules.dependencies" process takes about 15 seconds to complete when I type in the "dma" command as described above, without going through ALL of that long procedure that is described in my previous post that was dated Sat Dec 29, 2007 3:22 pm.

I did previously load knoppix onto my hard drive after booting up to the KDE desktop while using the Knoppix 5.1.1 live CD by entering the "sudo knoppix-installer" command in the "Shell-Konsole" . Then, after the install was completed, I rebooted, and then, on the blue boot command screen, I arrowed down and highlighted the 2nd line that had the Kernel 2.6.19 and did NOT highlight the 1st line that has the Kernel 2.6.19 Default on it.

When I have the 2nd line highlighted, then I click the "e" key on my keyboard to edit the commands before the final boot screen initializes.

Then a new screen will appear and I arrow down and highlight the 2nd command line. When I have the 2nd command line highlighted, I click on the "e" key on my keyboard again.

Then, I type in "dma" (without the quotation marks) after the command "vga=791" so
that it reads "vga=791 dma" (without the quotation marks)

Then I click the "Enter" key on my keyboard.

Then I click the "b" key on my keyboard and the computer booted up much faster, indeed, without going through the remaining long process that I described in my previous post that was dated Sat Dec 29, 2007 3:22 pm.

I believe that this will significantly shorten the " ld.so.cache and modules.dependencies" process time without taking away any of the benefits that the "ld.so.cache and modules dependencies" process provides to our Knoppix 5.1.1 operating system.
