<h3>About</h3>
<ul>
- <li>haveged is started when booting with boot option `ssh` (Boot option `services=haveged` starts it as well)
+ <li>When using the `ssh` boot option Grml automatically starts haveged, an userspace entropy daemon which
+ uses HAVEGE (HArdware Volatile Entropy Gathering and Expansion).
+ If you should notice a slow boot and want to force the startup of the haveged service (independent of usage of ssh boot option)
+ you can start the service via boot option `services=haveged`.
+ See e.g. <a href="https://daniel-lange.com/archives/152-Openssh-taking-minutes-to-become-available,-booting-takes-half-an-hour-...-because-your-server-waits-for-a-few-bytes-of-randomness.html">Openssh
+ taking minutes to become available [...]</a> for further information.
<li>The cpufrequtils package with its loadcpufreq handling has been dropped. The cpufreq drivers are autoloaded and the powersave/ondemand driver is mature enough. The linux-cpupower tools provide the binaries as replacement for what cpufrequtils provided so far.
