Depends on the implementation and what's required for network connectivity to the remote server. When I said that I was talking about the method that Lee Revell talked about, where he said "We should start X and initialize the display and get the login prompt up there ASAP, and let the system acquire the DHCP lease and start sendmail and apache and get the date from the NTP server *in the background while I am logging in*. It's not rocket science". Obviously, if the network is started synchronously it won't matter. > Helge Hafting Jim. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
