Scott, is this how things are intended to work? My current understanding
is:


* "pre-start exec sleep N" means "wait up to N seconds for the preconditions to 
be satisfied". In this case, these are a network up and a fs up. I thought it 
meant "Wait at least N seconds", but I guess I was wrong.

* The current change makes the system to wait up to 120 seconds if the
network is not brought up according to /etc/network/interfaces

I think the latter is something that is not unlikely to happen for
people who have been using different network managers and upgrading to
new releases.

Why would we do this? Isn't it better to proceed with the boot up even
if the network is not fully up? Why is a network fully up a requirement
to run rc-sysinit.conf?

I would expect a flood of "my boot up takes 3 minutes" bug reports if
this released with a potential two minute lag.

Thanks!
Leo
