[SOLVED] simple fix for slow boot

[annhenrie]

Couldn't figure out why boot hesitated. Finally realized I could recap the boot messages in /var/log/boot.log. Dmesg was not very helpful. The system was slowing and waiting for the network to come up no matter what. Sometimes I don't even want ethernet or wifi and often don't want them until later, anyway. Don't need to wait for network to come up each and every boot. Setting onboot = no in /etc/sysconfig/network.scripts/ifcfg-ethX did no good. What works is to run, one time, as root, "systemctl.disable network service" Could probably also do this in mcc. At least you can check in mcc to see if the service is actually running (which it wasn't). Took a lot of time to figure this out -- duh. Another service that slowed the boot was stopped with "systemctl.disable fedora-loadmodules.service"
