Guys,
And this is to all the wizards on-list: Why does Gnome take
minutes to load? Yes, I finally got 6.3-PRERELEASE to boot
after learning that Dell has problems with its serial ports
(and Unix). I did see a few postings about the increased
delay time to bring up the windowing system, but didn't know it
would apply to 6.3 ....
In an earlier diagnostic attempt I commented out much of my
sysctl.conf and related lines in /etc/rc.conf and /devfs.rules.
So is there any way of reinitializing these hint and setting short
of rebooting??? Tweaking the BIOS has me rolling again.
gary
