Howdy, It has been doing this for as long as I can recall. I'm pretty sure it did this on my old system before this one as well. This is what it does.

[ ok ] root@fireball / # See how it receives the address from the router and then gives a prompt again, then it mounts network file systems where I should type in a command but that isn't me.. To get a prompt again, I have to hit the return key. Why does it give me a prompt when it isn't done yet? Shouldn't it finish completely before returning to a prompt? This is in a Konsole, within KDE. That said, I'm pretty sure it does this on a console, ctrl alt F*, screen as well. While this doesn't break anything, it is sort of annoying. Maybe I have a setting wrong somewhere? Maybe there is a bad default setting? Maybe it does this for all of us? Just curious what it up with this. Dale :-) :-)
