Another good way of troubleshooting problems with boot times is to install the 'bootchart' package using Synaptic (System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager). When the system boots, bootchart will save a timeline of the boot process in /var/log/bootchart, showing which programs are taking the most time at boot.
