This could be some type of network issue. Maybe the rc.ntpd script is expecting the network to be up but that now happens later in the bootup and so it just hangs waiting for something that is not there. Did you write the rc.ntpd script or is it part of this fresh Slackware installation?
Bill, rc.ntpd has always been in the Slackware core distribution. Next time I boot I'll time the delay at that point; it's probably just longer than I gave it before and certainly tolerable. Thanks, Rich
