Delay during blue screen before loginwindow

Hello I have started the arduous process of converting my application installs into pkgs for InstaDMG and have begun testing the creation of the image. I build the DMG, then use Disk Utility to restore it to my test machine (Aluminum iMac 20in). When the machine boots there is a long delay (45-90 seconds) where the screen is all blue, then finally the loginwindow appears. Once logged in everything appears ok speedwise, its just this delay before the login window that is annoying. I have removed all application pkgs except the following which I still am tweaking. These all exist in the BaseUpdates folder: 1) MacOSX 10.5.5 Combo Updater 2) CreateUser (creating an admin user, with no other options) 3) ClearReg 4) Script to set timezone and time server 5) Script to enable ARD I realise that is may not be an InstaDMG problem, but I'm not sure where to look to solve this issue. Also, while I am posting, I would like to enable ARD via a pkg rather than do it on first boot. Does this look ok: [code] #!/bin/sh #Enable ARD for ICT "$3"/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/kickstart -targetdisk "$3" -configure -allowAccessFor -specifiedUsers "$3"/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/kickstart -targetdisk "$3" -activate -configure -access -on -users "USERNAME" -privs -all -restart -agent exit 0 [/code] Thanks in advance
