Any ideas what causes this behavior? Solutions? I've noticed similar behaviour - after upgrading XFree86 to 4.x, startx takes a *lot* longer to start (though not anything like a minute). I seem to remember (from a few years back) that XEmacs could take long to start up if the resolver set up was not correct (i.e, it would try to contact a nameserver, which would either cause your modem (or whatever) to connect, or time out after 20 seconds or a multiple thereof.) //Raymond. -- Raymond Wiker Raymond.Wiker@fast.no To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
