Granted, this is PII 550 Mhz. But it takes several seconds just for GRUB, not for anything to do with the kernel starting. The attached file is, obviously, my configuration file. BTW, the commented out entries are just old. Any optimization ideas out there? -Pingveno -- "I am the main Dish of the Day.
