I opt out of the 'Desktop Computer' choice in the install which has made me much happier with my results. after install I always do the following: remove netatalk (if installed) install nullmailer (i don't need a mailserver on my desktop or laptop machine) i still use GDM for my manager, but might try Slim again... anyway, my boot time goes from GRUB to GUI in less than 40 seconds using a 1.6ghz laptop. -- Arrant Drivel - really, it's just trash... http://www.arrantdrivel.com/ Where the road takes me - a highwayman's perspective http://www.prestonboyington.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
