hello i have kernel 2.6.8-2-386 currently installed and when i boot not being connected to the network the booting process stops for at least 3 or 4 minutes showing: ..... Starting MTA: ..... and then it goes on correctly, but it is very tedious to wait so much, how can i skip this test if the pc is not connected? thank you -- roberto GNU/Linux, debian sarge 2.6.8-2-386
