It is worth mentioning that if one is running sendmail that under
certain circumstances and depending on the configuration the boot
process will appear to freeze for some time when DNS requests are not
being resolved.

One can easily determine if their system may suffer this fate by booting
their system with the network disconnected.

On my F12 virtual system, it will present the login screen in 1:20 with
the network connected, and 2:31 when the network is disconnected.

I do think the OP is talking about boot time and certainly the network
status can influence that.
