I tried to put this in the bug, but qa.mandrakesoft.com has become
unreachable.

#/etc/init.d/gpm stop
/etc/init.d/gpm: no such file or directory.

"Are you sure your system is not busy doing something else or than
network is already working properly ? Running top in another console
might be helpful.."

Whatever it may be busy doing is something set up to be doing by the
Mandrake 9.1 and 9.2 installation programs. As I have repeatedly
written, IMMEDIATELY upon availability of login prompt, IMMEDIATELY upon
booting, the FIRST thing I do upon logging in is 'mc', on tty1. Anything
else that may be going on has nothing to do with anything I did, other
than in package selection and configuration during install. This ALWAYS
happens on EVERY install on EVERY system since 9.0.

"The way startup is done now is causing X server to be displayed before
all services are started and running."

I have noticed this, and don't understand why it happens. I wish X would
start only after all other services have been started.
