I know about strace since I used it before. It doesn't give me any hints because the time it shows doesn't depend on how fast emacs starts. > Given your description, it sounds like a typical timeout.

I can't verify if localhost is resolving to sane settings because at the moment I'am installing a new system. I'm giving Gentoo another try. But I have another question about the domainname. During installation I have to set dnsdomainname. Should I also set domainname? In my hosts file I have got the line 127.0.0.1 localhost Is this sufficient if I use dhcp to get an ip adress? When I finished this installation I'll mail again with more complete descriptions about name resolution but I think that could have been the problem. Thank's for the tip!
