Great to get help from all sides!
Howard sent me a shareware program: FastUnfrag, size: unbelievable 12k, which works nicely and tells me that I have only 1% fragmentation. Which means that the problem with the slow startup is not caused by fragmentation...
Re. what Bill wrote about defragmentation and OS 8: Yes, be careful there. IIRC, up to OS 8.0 the file system was HFS. Then came the quite different HFS+, which makes older defragmenting programs (and disk tools in general) potentially dangerous on disks that have been used with OS 8.1 or newer.
That said, I'm still looking if anyone can give me a good hint about my PB's slow startup. The suggestion with the servers list sounded good--if only I could find that file or folder. On the other hand, I never log on to servers, but only use the network for connecting to the internet--would that generate a list of server names, too?
Any ideas welcome!
