Hi all,
Just a few issues of concern from the field:
1. On a normal reboot, of a Dell running linux/Athena, it appears to
take somewhere in the vicinity of 6-7 minutes when Athena-Verify
starts to run. Maybe this time can be cut down, or if not, maybe a
warning message can be put in stating that the following will take
approx. 'x' amount of minutes.
2. Also appear to be coming across linux/Athena systems stuck in the
(Unable to start X doing console login instead) mode. Ctrl D and
reboots do not appear to be effective. Usualy end up doing a
re-install.
