How to shorten boot time. It is taking about 6 minutes or so.

[diskrod]

I went to the link mentioned by Jerry. I recently upgraded to a HP laptop and my profile has changed. I'm a novice when it comes to Linux Lite but I'm trying to learn new stuff.  I'm confused about "add the kernel boot parameter" mentioned in the link.  How do I add it? I'm able to get into the terminal and enter the first sudo line but after that I'm lost. Any help is appreciated since I also have a slow boot time. Sorry if stepped on anyone's tools from previous post.

• sudo nano /etc/default/grub
  

Then add the kernel boot parameter: video=SVIDEO-1:d, so it will look like this: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash video=SVIDEO-1:d"

• sudo update-grub
  
• sudo reboot
