        I did the first two steps above and it appears that F-15 might
        boot in little more than 30 seconds if it did not stop in
        Plymouth for two minutes. I don't think I even need Plymouth do
        I, since I don't boot in the graphic mode?

        I didn't remove NetworkManager yet, don't know it that will take
        care of the problem?

        As it is I have to "connect" manually and then mount my NFS to
        to get a usable system.

        2-1/2 minutes is a long time to boot, even worse than the 1 min.
        24 sec. with NetworkManager running.

        How can I stop the pause at "Plymouth?" I did not find it listed
        under chkconfig.
