When I try to halt or reboot my Debian desktop (running woody), the system gets to "Deconfiguring network interfaces:" and then just seems to stop. It's not hung, because I can ALT+Fx to different terminals, and I can also ping the machine from other hosts. But, for whatever reason, the system does not seem to be shutting down. I did finally let it sit for a few minutes and it eventually rebooted, but why is it taking so long to do that? What processes are going on and how can I speed things up? -- Darryl L.
