user needs help

[Matt]

If it hangs on boot could be that it is trying to resolve itself on the
network.  Also, if he has sendmail running as a service, it could be that
this is causing the hang.  Either deactivate sendmail or configure it
properly.  Also, does it hang during the boot process or does it boot
cleanly.

Check the boot logs too.

Subject: user needs help

Hi,
I have a user that has dual boot, windows and linux.  When it boots to 
linux, it hangs if it is not connected to the network.
I told him to make his network settings live in the "alternative" 
settings, but he says this doesn't work.  Here is his email
to me:

"Would you please tell me how to correct my problem of not being able to 
start the linux partition of my laptop when it is not connected to the 
network?  I have redhat.  thank you."

Can someone give us some clues to this.  Many thanks in advance for any 
help.
