Banzai, Ph.D. > Bruce Johnson Well, I boot up quite quickly these days and you are right that it helps not to have memory check on - I do have a lot of RAM. (Ages ago, I turned off all the things I did not think I needed, including all these sprocket things, whatever they are for? games?). I was just a bit surprised that some ext folder things do not need to be there at boot up, you *can* use them if you put them in that folder afterwards). I was not implying any actual slow boot up. Truth is, I was rather hoping that others would do all the time consuming experiments needed and HAND THE RESULTS OVER... :) David Elmo -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
