Comment(by Quozl):

 Replying to [comment:21 pgf]:
 > a) isn't that what chkconfig is for?

 No, because prelink is run from anacron, and is not always present as a
 process.  chkconfig is for services that are rendered as persistent
 processes.

 > seems like a more discoverable way to turn it off.

 We don't lack a discoverable way to turn it on or off.

 > unless you're talking about doing at build-time, in which case chkconfig
 would probably be harder.

 I think it would be the same.

 > b) regarding the 4G machines, you're saying this because the only things
 that will be prelinked after build time are mostly rpm installs, is that
 right?

 No, I'm mentioning the 4Gb machines because for them this ticket is really
 not a problem, and I'd rather not fix something that isn't a problem,
 because that way can lead to more problems later.

 I don't think we need to worry about what experts may do with yum and rpm
 after the build is deployed to a laptop ... but with prelink off any yum
 updated packages won't have their new binaries prelinked.
