Hi, as a first time poster, please note bottom posting -; and Arch noob
of 1 year (and loving it) I find that uevents takes 2 seconds to process
on boot.
Just as a matter of interest I changed from Reiserfs to JFS filesystems
on /boot, swap, / and /home and they flash by in about 1 second on boot.
When I had Reiserfs they took a long time to check.

I don't know whether this is good or bad but total boot time from boot
splash to log in screen including nvidia splash takes 25 seconds.
I've got @ in front of most of my daemons in rc.conf. (backgrounded)

System is 1.86 core 2 duo with 2 gig of ram.

At last I can reply to one of the list messages. Most of them are above
my head. I hope I've made sense.
Thanks to all concerned for a great distro.
