On hoerg.org there is something written about the nice idea to speed up your boot sequence by running multiple init scripts parallel.

On a debian box you only have to edit /etc/init.d/rc
and change startup $i start to
startup $i start &

It might not work with every configuration and on every system and
of course this is not very clean but on my system it seems to work!
debian-administration wrote about it too.

From MS knowledge base:

"If you log on to an MIT realm, press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, click Change Password, type your existing MIT password, and then type a new, simple password that does not pass the dictionary check in Kadmind, you may receive the following error message:
Your password must be at least 18770 characters and cannot repeat any of your previous 30689 passwords. Please type a different password. Type a password that meets these requirements in both text boxes.
..."

I released Yacpi 1.3.

The new version of my ncurses based acpi monitoring tool now supports a text only output of the information,
and the possibility to do loops so you can let it run on a tty all the time

I also fixed a SIGFPE (reported by Martin Samuelson) and the display of the percentage bar if two batteries are used (reported by nimmersatt).

Have fun!
