Hi - I just started up xemacs while connected to my ISP and it came up in under 3 seconds! The timeouts (there are 225 of them) i reported previously are apparently related to unsuccessful attempts to connect to my ISP while i am offline! Is there a way to instruct xemacs not to try and connect

That doesn't sound right. You should have something like: 127.0.0.1 zeropoint.your.domain zeropoint 127.0.0.1 localhost (Also try flipping those lines around.) Also, what does hostname and hostname -f report? Gerald Wann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > > > I am experimenting

I've tried the following (single) lines in my etc/hosts file - 127.0.0.1localhost OR 127.0.0.1zeropoint // where zeropoint is what is reported by hostname OR 127.0.0.1zeropoint localhost and noticed very little if any improvement in xemacs

On my P166 (64 meg RAM) it takes about 20 seconds. Strange, on a BSDi P133 it takes about 5-10 seconds and that machine has less memory. I suspect our Xemacs is loading a bunch of unneeded stuff but I don't know for sure. You might want to mail our xemacs maintainer about this. Gerald Wann <[E
