It can take a long time, anyway, usually lots of stuff has to get paged in, etc. It's usually about 30-40 seconds on my machine, long enough that many times I _have_ gone away and done something else -- and even worse, I use the `autologin after 30s' function of gdm, so often I find it's logged me back in by the time I get back... :-) -Miles -- "Most attacks seem to take place at night, during a rainstorm, uphill, where four map sheets join." -- Anon.
