        Hi all,

Just a question to satisfy my curiosity. When booting sendmail takes
a very long time to start.  This happens in FC6 but even longer in F7 on
a new laptop.  I'm watching it now and its been 7 minutes so far.  Done!
Sendmail finished in 9 minutes and now sm-client ... is ... finished
in ... 4 minutes.  The rest boots quite quickly, less than 2 minutes for
everything else.  All mail is done through another box.  This is not a
problem, allows plenty of time to make some tea and get a slice of cake.
If you ever get tired of the opportunity to have morning tea and a natter while the computer gets started, you might get around to checking that networking is starting properly, you have fully functioning DNS or an alternative.
The one time I had this problem, it was related to a fully non-fiunctioning DNS...

Exactly, but it makes a fine excuse to spend some delightful time with friends. Tea and cake taken with friends, what could be better?

I don't think it would be appropriate to post here ;-)
