No, those are absolute times from the start of bootup. So, a total of 30 seconds before you can start logging in, and a grand total of 1 minute 13 seconds before you can start working on the system. > i prefer to wait 90 sec for login screen and 20 sec for desktop on my > systems. Ok, I suppose you have to trade of when you'd like to wait. Wait to log in, or wait after logging in. You can disable the early-login if you don't like it. > apropos, on the same hardware, 666/1333 mhz, powerbook g4 > > Mac OS X > 00 sec - boot > 30 sec - login screen > 20 sec - desktop ready > ______ > 50 sec - vs 24 hours You gave relative times, not absolute times as I did. I'll convert: rhgb early-login OS X rhgb displayed 00:20 n/a n/a login screen 01:08 00:33 00:30 desktop ready 01:30 01:13 00:50 50 sec vs. 73 sec is pretty good. Definately an improvement over the previous 90 seconds. Still room for more improvement, but still pretty good.
