Re: Appletalk Starting and Failing during Sarge Boot

[Chinook]

PS:  If you have netatalk installed then you may also have task-howl 
(howl-tools and mdnsresponder) installed.  If you don't need netatalk 
then you probably don't need task-howl either as such is used to 
"broadcast" shares.  Get another opinion about uninstalling these 
additional packages first though, as I don't know whether they might be 
useful otherwise :-)

X starts up and she gets the login dialogue box, these timeout
messages continue to come out.

What is there that we can do to stop this (she doesn't own a Mac,
nor does she have any interest in owning one)? It delays boot
quite a bit.

Thanks for your time.

If you see the message you note during bootup then you have netatalk 
installed.  If you look in the process monitor you'll see at least the 
daemon afpd running and maybe a few others associated with netatalk 
for classic AppleTalk.

Anyway, netatalk is not part of the stock distribution (as far as i 
know - i had to install it) and you can just uninstall it.

HTH,
