Hi Graham,

A fast boot time is not critical for me (& I think that we are only
talking of seconds, anyway).  In any case, my current boot process with
10.04 involves using several steps in the fail-safe mode, so it is not
only slow, but requires my interaction several times.

However, I am not an expert, so any changes need to be provided to me in
easy-to-follow steps.  And, I am somewhat wary, after I tried to
implement a change to my Mythbuntu PC that someone suggested, & got into
an awful mess (the boot failed miserably, but then I could not get the
file up to edit it back the way it was, as the fsck system wanted to
check the HDD, but failed; it was all just stuck in a horrible loop).

Garry.
