in less than 10 seconds (usually 5 is even safe...) if it is going to
answer at all. So, that is one of the first things I change on pretty
much every Linux machine I work on. That way, you still get auto-config
of networking on boot 99% of the time, but don't have terrible boot
times when you are disconnected. Best of both worlds.

my /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf has only one line:
send host-name "ubuntu";
do I add a line/value to override a default 1 minute setting?
