Just as a matter of interest I changed from Reiserfs to JFS filesystems on /boot, swap, / and /home and they flash by in about 1 second on boot. When I had Reiserfs they took a long time to check. I don't know whether this is good or bad but total boot time from boot splash to log in screen including nvidia splash takes 25 seconds. I've got @ in front of most of my daemons in rc.conf. (backgrounded) System is 1.86 core 2 duo with 2 gig of ram. At last I can reply to one of the list messages. Most of them are above my head. I hope I've made sense. Thanks to all concerned for a great distro. gnu2
