boot time
Fedora 4 boots very fast until its done-- the background comes up, the gnome-panel comes up and then the hard drive is busy for another half a minute or so, meanwhile I can't do anything. I'm thinking it is a package I installed- tried removing some but no luck. Any suggestions? I don't want to reinstall FC4, but it's sort of annoying and I might do it anyway.

Can you do ctrl-alt-f2 and get a console and do
ps -ef | less
and see what processes are running during this lull in the gui?

processes
I suppose I have to figure out what's not necessary, then how to remove that service from starting. Any ideas would be awesome, I'm attaching the processes...

You seem to have the same processes that I have in FC4. Stopping unnecessary services usually speeds up the time between power-on and the appearance of the login screen. I have never noticed that it affected the time between the initial and final appearance of the desktop. Instead of running ps -ef, try running:
top
There will be a changing display of processes. On my machine the top cpu users are:
X
rhn-applet-gui
top
init
Does this delay always happen or do you ever get a similar delay after the desktop has completely appeared?
What application did you install and un-install?

Hey,
I have this too. And I know the cause. It's rhn-applet-gui. It is the little (!), (√), or (<=>) circle in the corner of the screen that notifies you of updates. Anyway, how it works it everytime it's starts (and every 30 minutes or so) it does a rpm -qa and get's a list of RPMs installed, and then compares them to your repos. So, because it starts when you login, it'll spend abour 20 seconds getting the list of software of you system, then another 10 downloading the repo listing and comaring them. If you have monitors on your panel (I have another top panel with 5 system monitors: CPU, RAM, Swap, Netowrok usage, HD usage.) you will also notice that your Network goes up for a couple seconds.

don't need rhn-applet-gui anyway- use yum/yumex, so i'll get rid of the rhn.
