slow booting if network is poor

[funtomas]

Hi, I am new in linux and I have the following problem: when my internet connection is bad (WIFI long distance) the fedora is booting very slow (during screen with green OK :) ) mainly when is starting NFS statd, cups, and when is starting sendmail its wait about 3~10 minutes.

Why??? I instaled FC6 before 3 weeks ago, it's my first linux distro on my comp...

nfs and sendmail have to do with the network, they want to make sure the network is there.
you can disable them if you don't use them:
chkconfig nfs off
chkconfig sendmail off
chkconfig ntpd off
service nfs stop
service sendmail stop

copy-paste those commands in a terminal
