Ok, I have to ask.
How many people running OS X restart their machines on a regular basis?
Is there any reason to restart rather than put to sleep?
I'm just curious because none of the machines I run that have 10.3.2 on
them are restarted unless some software install requires it or there is
a power failure.

Sick of the slow startup time after updating to 10.3.2?
A workaround has been posted on MacFixit (see below). The full
explanation is at http://www.macfixit.com/index.php?date=2003-12-29.
I tried it last night on my G3 14 inch iBook 700MHz and it works after
the second restart as claimed. The usual warnings and disclaimers
apply when tinkering with the system like this.

'Steve Minnick has posted a fix apparently endorsed by Apple's support
department to the Apple Discussions arena that is working to resolve
slow startup issues under Mac OS X 10.3.2 for a number of users.
The fix is fairly straightforward. Simply enter the Terminal and
execute:
sudo ln -s
/System/Library/Extensions/BootCache.kext/Contents/Resources/
BootCacheControl /usr/sbin
...and then restart twice.
The official Apple solution uses copy instead of a link:
sudo cp -p
/System/Library/Extensions/BootCache.kext/Contents/Resources/
BootCacheControl /usr/sbin ...'
