An SE/30 with AppleShare Server 3 installed on it, running 7.1 plus all the extras I list in the FAQ, takes about 15 seconds to go from warm power-on to full usable desktop (warm power-on because RAM tests take forever with 128MB and they'd do so on either OS so it's not really fair to count them as part of the startup time) if I don't *also* allow the AppleShare Server to finish starting (it loads extensions but the two programs it launches at startup are disabled). 7.5 takes about two minutes with the same config minus AppleShare Server. >By far the slowest part of a cold bootup is the RAM check, which takes >at least 2 minutes.

Yeah, I'm definitely *not* counting that time, because that's a problem on *any* 68K Mac, no matter what OS is installed. -- the pickle FAQ <http://macfaq.org/index.shtml> _________________________________________________________________ -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
