Sick of the slow startup time after updating to 10.3.2? A workaround has been posted on MacFixit (see below). The full explanation is at http://www.macfixit.com/index.php?date=2003-12-29.
I tried it last night on my G3 14 inch iBook 700MHz and it works after the second restart as claimed.

The fix is fairly straightforward. Simply enter the Terminal and execute: sudo ln -s /System/Library/Extensions/BootCache.kext/Contents/Resources/BootCacheControl /usr/sbin ...and then restart twice. The official Apple solution uses copy instead of a link: sudo cp -p /System/Library/Extensions/BootCache.kext/Contents/Resources/BootCacheControl /usr/sbin ...' <End Quote> R.K.
