Some of you may remember my earlier work.

I have now packaged up a few, relativity safe, tweaks as a nice self contained .deb file. This will add a sysctl.conf to the system, tweak the ondemand governor, and drop a load of banned hosts into your system.

IF YOU HAVE ALREADY TWEAKED DNSMASQ, SYSCTL, OR THE SPEED GOVERNOR I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS WILL DO IT IT.

The good news is that removing this package and rebooting should be 100% safe and *should* revert all changes. I have tested this under dpkg and App Manager under Diablo and I'm almost 100% positive this should work under Chinook and I'm not sure about Bora.

Code:
./root
./root/hosts.sh
./etc
./etc/dnsmasq.d
./etc/dnsmasq.d/banner_ad_hosts.conf
./etc/init.d
./etc/init.d/cpufreq_tweak.sh
./etc/init.d/sysctl
./etc/sysctl.conf
This is the contents of the deb. The /root/hosts.sh regenerates the list of blocked hosts, the dnsmasq.conf is sed'ed to enable a conf-dir in which this drops the banner blocking conf, the two new init.d scripts control sysctl and the ondemand tweaks.

All in all this should provide a small to moderate increase in performance. I am using it with an 8mb swap file.

It's a good first step to get some feedback and I now know where I'm going to take this. I do plan on adding prefs.js tweaking to this eventually and possibly chrome and gconf tuning as well.

My ultimate goal it to have 100% of my tweaks bundled up in an easy to install .deb/system
