Hi Richard,

I need to reboot/power-off mainly for 2 reasons:
1. I have a dual-boot system (Linux+Win)
2. The battery of my laptop has low capacity

For what concerns the 1min and 38sec, it's not an infinity but IMHO is
a very long time if I compare it with F16 (that was installed on the
same laptop).

Cheers,

So is it crashing that you are worried about? My main, though unstated, point was that, at least in my opinion, time for bootup is not a concern in the Linux world. I think our concern has more to do with making a safe, secure, unbreakable computing environment. Because of the name - Beefy Miracle - I don't think we care about the time it takes to boot up as long as it works. It's just my opinion, and I could be wrong.

If you really need it to boot up faster, it is possible to go into /boot and stop grub from calling up as many things, but it is inadvisable; you could end up screwing things badly enough that the computer will not boot into the current installation anymore.
