I know that this may not be a solution. But I think the problem is SuSE.
It's a red-hat like installation, isn't it? And the last week I've been
looking for boot/shutdown process at a redhat machine. It takes a long.
Actually, much longer that windows, with it's colorful things and such.
And that was surprising to me. I use slackware, both in laptop and desk
boxes, and it's much faster in all these tasks.
Revise the present daemons as suggested could help, but if you really want
a faster boot/shut, I'll recomend you try slackware. You will not get
colorful things, and that makes everything faster.
Of course, that's only an opinion.
