I'm not sure what I've done but suddenly the time to boot has gone from about two minutes to what seems like about five minutes more. Toward the end of the boot process it dwells on starting ntpd, starting sendmail, and starting smb-client. The rest of the boot process seems normal.

I was setting up a second computer with FC-2 for the grandsons and decided to make a simple network to pass files between them and to print from this one. After that exercise the slow boot seems to have shown up on both. Other than that everything seems to work nicely making it a non-problem I suppose, more an abnormality?

Both are old Pentium class computers with 300 - 400 megs of RAM.

Any suggestions appreciated.
