It connects to another machine with a paralle cable. If I unplug the parallel cable, starting X is VERY slow and I got messages like "lp0: too many errors". Obviously, X is trying to communicate with the outside world until timeouts. How to prent it from doing this so X can starts as quickly as when the parallel cable is plugged in.
