It shouldn't be taking that long. You need to work on tuning and configuring it. I almost wish you lived near me, I'm an *expert* at this, and my Win95 boots in about 15 seconds on my P200MMX (when my SparQ drive is turned off and its not probing for it... this adds a few extra seconds). BTW, CPU speed has very little effect on boot time for any OS. Boot time is more controlled by what drivers are being loaded (and how the driver interacts with the OS at boot time), the speed of the hard drive, and how much RAM is in the machine. -- My web site starts at http://www.serv.net/~fewtch/index.html - lots of goodies for everyone, have a look if you have the time.
