I have installed Ubuntu 7.10 on my laptop Pc. When I start the computer, right after the BIOS starts and the big Acer thing appears and the GRUB starts, the screen goes completely black and nothing "seems" to happen. I have to wait around for more than 4 minutes with the screen totally black and then I get the welcome message indicating that I should write my username and password. After that Ubuntu starts off at a normal speed and everything works fine.
What can I do to:
1. Speed up the 4 minutes booting?
2. Actually get the Ubuntu progress bar that should appear after the GRUB process finishes?
Any good help will be appreciated. Thank you very much.
