Given that limitation, speed of boot becomes a major criterion. F10 (and also, believe it or not, Pupeee) took *over* ten minutes -- yes, real sixty-second minutes; it's not a typo -- just to boot. And then had to find wifi.
WHAT!!!!!!???????
I just booted mine for the morning, and it was on the login GUI in 50 SECONDS!
Once I entered my password it was connected to the network in under 30 SECONDS (and I use WPA-PSK).
You have install/setup problems. What services are you running? There may be a number of services that are waiting on the network to come up to check something and are waiting for timeouts, missing that the link is down so don't bother to try (ntp does it right, for example).
Now that you mention it, it does sound like sendmail/samba, etc., waiting for DNS on a disconnected network.
Gentlemen, I thank you both -- and wish I had gotten to this point several weeks back. I'll go give F10 (or maybe F11) another try ASAP. Are you running full F10, or the install from the live CD, or what?
F10 from install CD then over net where I have the install repo locally. IE full install.
Had to use a USB CD drive and change bios to boot from it. No biggy.
Incidentally, it was only about last week that I discovered I could upgrade both the RAM (to the 2 GB it has now) and the SD card (from the 4 GB I had to the 8 GB now). That has of course made everything since seem better.
Oh, how do you unsoldier the drive? My understanding is this unit has the drive hard wired........
I have /root and /home on the 8Gb SD card and /boot, /var, and a 2Gb swap on the 4Gb SSD.
