> more /etc/readahead.d/impress.later > /usr/bin/soffice > /opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice.bin I created the above file /etc/readahead.d/impress.later Put in it the two lines above. The /etc/init.d/readahead_later script takes any file name *.later so I made a new file instead of editing /etc/readahead.d/default.later I did service readahead_later restart I then started impress a couple times and it still takes a LONG time to startup. I was "hoping" it would be cached in memory and start right up. I can find anything in dmesg or /var/log/messages that says any error for readahead or that anything is happening. How do I know the server is or is not doing anything for me? As I mentioned I did not notice any difference in application load time. Thanks, Jerry
