Hello; While my 8.1 installation is working well, it is having boot problems about half the time. It gets to the neighborhood of Mount SMB File System Starting SSH daemon Inporting Net File System (NFS) and then hangs, leaving the keyboard LEDs flashing. The hang does not always occur exactly in the same place, but always somewhere within these boot steps. The only solution is a hard reboot so fsck follows that. And /var/log/boot messages are started over so I cannot see exactly what happened. So can anyone say how I might fix this? Since I do not use either SMB File System or NFS, I might just be able to remove it from the boot script but I do not know which one to edit. Thanks in advance. -- Tony Alfrey tonyalfrey@earthlink.net "I'd rather be sailing"
