I often give presentations with my notebook. If I'm lucky, I get
10-15 minutes to set up. If I'm not, less than 5 minutes (i.e.
another presenter ahead of me). I use Linux whenever possible, but
since my time slot is limited, I can't wait for fsck to complete.
Your type of situation is well understood and there is sympathy for it.
I appreciate that - but unfortunately, sympathy doesn't solve the problem
:)
Someone may have suggested this, and I know it doesn't really solve the
core problem, but perhaps consider suspending (to disk or ram) instead
of shutting down when you have a presentation scheduled?
Again, that is a way round the problem not a solution to it.
A facility that was available no longer is. Whether it should be, is an
entirely different question.

Lisi,
While I agree it's only a way around a problem and not a solution, I do
appreciate people trying to help out.
And while I would prefer a solution, it looks like that's not going to
happen. So, unfortunately, after many years as a Debian user, I'm
looking at other options. My clients are looking, also, although not
every one has made the decision to switch yet.
