I put the ampersand but by me it doesn't boot faster! It's maybe that I'm reaching a certain system limit? I boot in around 5.5s (gnome desktop and compiz fully ready). Is they're a initramfs update to do or something else that I didn't? Regards P.S. The reason could be that my /var and /home partitions are on the conventionnal HD? Anyway 5.5s is still not bad.

Just added an ampersand to the end of the line and the networking starting script ran in the background and my boot time is about 5 seconds shorter now. The line should look like: /lib/init/upstart-job networking start & ;; Best Guy,
