This is a pretty big change, but actually my F17 laptop boots fairly quick even with a platter disc. If you look at Lennart's blame game page (already linked) you can save a lot of time by not waiting on services you don't need (not necessarily even disabling them, just not waiting for things that aren't needed during boot). -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
