Other than ctrl-alt-del, there is not much you can do while the system
is booting. To fix your problem, though, you can modify the /sbin/ifup
script to limit the DHCP timeout to something like 12-15 seconds. I
found in RH 7.3 that it tries TWO DHCP clients before giving up. First
dhcpcd, then pump, so you have to wait for it to time out twice. So, I
just commented out the pump line and now I wait 12 seconds on my laptop
when I'm home on the wireless :)
Here is the relevant fragment:
# tkw -- added -t 12 for DHCP timeout and comment out call to pump.
# it takes too long to use two DHCP clients.
if [ -x /sbin/dhcpcd ] && /sbin/dhcpcd ${DHCPCDARGS} -t 12 ${DEVICE}
; then
echo $" done."
# elif [ -z "`pidof -x dhcpcd`" ] && [ -x /sbin/pump ] && /sbin/pump
${PUMPAR
GS} -i ${DEVICE}; then
# echo $" done."
Best Regards,
Keith
