Hi Graham, A fast boot time is not critical for me (& I think that we are only talking of seconds, anyway). In any case, my current boot process with 10.04 involves using several steps in the fail-safe mode, so it is not only slow, but requires my interaction several times.
However, I am not an expert, so any changes need to be provided to me in easy-to-follow steps. And, I am somewhat wary, after I tried to implement a change to my Mythbuntu PC that someone suggested, & got into an awful mess (the boot failed miserably, but then I could not get the file up to edit it back the way it was, as the fsck system wanted to check the HDD, but failed; it was all just stuck in a horrible loop).
