Hi list.

I have some computers running Debian, and one of them (pentium
300mhz, 396 MB RAM), in the starting, before the desktop login
appears, a black screen appears for 3 minutes. The hd doesn't work
during this black screen. I tried other desktop (IceWm, blackbox) and
the result is the same. Does anyone knows what could be wrong? In
others list, a user of a pentium 200mhz said it's loaded instantly in
that machine. Any information will be welcome. My thanks in advance.

Could be a DNS issue. What is the hostname of the machine which exhibits
the delay? Is there an entry for that name in /etc/hosts?
