booting a |

| I think the people who NEED to wait 60 seconds should increase it. Or |

better |

| You should get a DHCP response in < 10 seconds, it's as simple as |

that. If you |
| 17 |

| The vast majority of people would be ok with a 10 second dhcp timeout, |
| 20 |
and |
| 21 |
| those who aren't can increase it. |

Well if you just bootstrapped it. Then that's the first thing you fix if |
| 57 |
~ its SUCH a huge issue! There is an option to adjust it so adjust it. |
| 58 |
Gentoo is fully customizable. If you are personally injusticed by the |
| 59 |
fact that out of the box Gentoo is set to support anything and |
| 60 |
everything, then head else where. As far as taking longer then 10 |
| 61 |
seconds, try to pull an IP over a bogged down Sat link. I've seen it |
| 62 |
take longer then 10. |
