Rony,
- When my net is off and I start the system, it waits a pretty long
time for synchronising the clock with the internet based clock inspite of the service being disabled in the services list. The temporary workaround for it is to press 'Ctrl C' as soon as it shows up on the startup screen. This will bypass the process and move on.
$ sudo update-rc.d -f ntpdate remove That should help a bit by removing it from startup :) In case you want to sync your clock manually when online, do this -- $ sudo ntpdate -bsu pool.ntp.org Regards, BG
