=====Env=====
Slackware 12.0
2.6.21.5-smp
KDE 3.5.7
Emacs 22.1.1
============

I use the router to connect the Internet, so I can just plug the rj45
line to my laptop. I found that if I didn't connect the Internet, it
took so much time to start the Emacs(about 1 minute!) and startx(about
20 seconds to see the KDE startup interface).

But they started in few seconds when I'm online. I'm confused about
that. Someone told me to add 'timeout=1' into the /etc/resolv.conf,
but that didn't make better. They two still start so slowly.

What's up?

what's your machine's hostname?
do you have your hostname entry as well as localhost in /etc/hosts?

vvoody@vvhostname:~$ cat /etc/hosts
#
# hosts This file describes a number of hostname-to-address

# For loopbacking.
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.2.101 slackware12.0 slackware12.0
#192.168.2.101 vvhostname.vvdomain vvhostname

# End of hosts.

-----------------------
vvoody@vvhostname:~$ hostname
vvhostname
-----------------------

I should use '192.168.2.101 vvhostname.vvdomain vvhostname' ?

Try this instead:
# For loopbacking.
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 slackware12.invalid slackware12

The original content of /etc/hosts is:

# For loopbacking.
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.2.101 vvhostname.vvdomain vvhostname

# End of hosts.n

Then try:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 vvhostname.vvdomain vvhostname

This line:
192.168.2.101 vvhostname.vvdomain vvhostname
should be used on other computers at your network so they can contact
your computer as "vvhostname" instead of 192.168.2.101.

That's it.

I've similar settings on all of my Slackware boxes. However, if I SSH
into any of them with the DSL shut off, the username prompt shows up
immediately, but takes anywhere from five to ten seconds for the password
prompt to come.

have you tried 'ssh -v -v -v' to see what is happening? perhaps it doesn't
have to do anything with resolv.conf at all...
