Yes this is true, if one uses one OS.
When using several, one has to reboot into other OS's, unless one uses
an emulator as VMware, one boots inside another OS...
Still, these bootings take time...
Not waiting, but using your time economicly, during these fases, makes
them seem to take less time.
But i agree this is just a psychological illusion, and no realtime
shorter boottimebut it works all the same...

I know you sound simple, but i am too stupid to understand what you mean
here...
Yes I use KDE, and if choosen lilo or grub in the bootmanagers box,
(instead of none) will reappear this ability.(if suddenly dissappeared
from the menu)

For what it is worth I used
makeSUSEdvd-0.35-1.noarch.rpm to build a  openSUSE-10.3-Alpha1 DVD (composed of 
CDs 1-5 +
openSUSE-10.3-Alpha1-Addon-NonOSS-BiArch) which I installed using 
VMware.ex.p.build.39849
on openSUSE10.2. 

I then installed bootchart (same version that I installed on openSUSE 10.2) in
openSUSE-10.3-Alpha1 (VMware install)

openSUSE.10.3 boots 2:09 (remember this is VMware.e.x.p.build.39849)

I uploaded the charted (in case anyone is interested)
http://perso.orange.fr/j.pearson/openSUSE.10.3.on.VMware.ex.p.build.39849.bootchart.png

And what about avahi-compat-mDNSResponder?
Digikam do'nt works any more to connect to the cam's. With

and its previous versions are no more compatible.

So it looks like 45 Minutes is no good boot time?
Asus M6842NW with PentiumM 1.6GHz, when 60 days periode is over and ext3 
thinks it has to do a filesystem check. Very nice feature/default 
setting when having a presentation...
Once had this problem, then tune2fs solved it.

Hello all

I installed bootchart on a couple of PCs at home and uploaded the charts

Here are the results
Tyan.S2466.bootchart.png => Boot time 1:01
T60.t2400_bootchart.png => Boot time 1:13
T40.Pentium_M1500.bootchart.png => Boot time 1:30

The charts are available here:
