Thanks for the response. I tried removing quiet and rhgb from the kernel command line, but I didn't seem to get much more in the way of output. I also tried the Fedora 24 beta. It seemed to boot slightly faster, but still dog slow. I'm now trying Xubuntu 16.04. It's also very slow, so now I'm inclined to think the slowness is a function of my flash drive. I may try a different one and see if there is any change. galen -- Galen Seitz [email protected] _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
