It takes my 32-bit M2B1 many minutes now to get to a
working KDE desktop. Once it's there it's fine but get'n
there takes a very long time. Lots of HD rattle.

A re-install and update of M2B1 cleared things up.

Care to mark the thread as [SOLVED], then?

Yeah, always the same. Those moderators get all the fame and glory, sitting on the porch drinking fancy stuff and smoking even fancier stuff - while us poor janitors are breaking our backs on hard labor, wasting our youth at the chain-gang and dying young in the gutters....

Did you come to any conclusion about what needed cleaning up?

I probably need someone to share with me the process that
the system goes through during start up with new rpms
installed. Seems if there is some/lots of xorg stuff it
takes a couple times to settle in. Maybe there's some
compiling to do. There was a kernel change and that
also caused a long start up process.

Right now my M2B1 install(s) are golden.

Just did a Chroma Key test on OpenShot
on Cauldron and that came out just fine:

Enjoy it for what it is.

OK, I suppose, but next time can we have the raccoon riding the horse through the ... what is that? Oil-seed rape?

Sounds like a DKMS package (used for some graphics drivers, virtual box guest additions and virtualbox drivers and some others') which compiles at first boot of a newly installed kernel the driver it contains, that takes somewhere between 30 seconds and more than a minute, depending on your machine. Next subsequent boot should be normal again.

Thanks...this thing is looking mighty fine right now.
Even though it still has some warts.
