Extremely slow boot and login in F7

Hi, in my newly freshly installed F7 the boot is extremely slow. It takes several minutes to set up the firewall and D-bus, and when you have entered your password it also take several minutes before you are logged into Gnome.

Have anyone else experienced this?

Did you install from the live cd's or DVD? Which services are you running by default now? Desktop environment? hardware specs? More details would be very useful to try and solve this issue.

I installed from the live CD. All the default services are running + sshd. I set SELinux to permissive. I run Gnome. I have a celeron 2Ghz and 512 meg RAM.

The default services are not hardware specific. You should look at the list and disable all of those that you don't need. Use system-config-services for a graphical interface or ntsysv in the command line.

No offence, but how can you know which one you don't need. Do I NEED dbus for example?

That depends on what you are using Fedora for. If you are running GNOME desktop applications then yes you would need them. If you can't figure out what services you need list them and describe what you are using Fedora for and other folks can guide you.

Is there an easy way to list the services? ntsysv does not work.

Oh... I see dozens of smileys... please post again, this time without enabled smileys.

Edit: okay, I fought myself through the smileys....
The ahavi-daemons can be disabled on a normal desktop system. Also mdmonitor and netconsole can be turned off.
