running ntpdate to synchronise clock stalls
During boot this message comes up and sits for 2 minutes then says "error temporary failure in name resolution". I read a few other posts about this problem but didn't see how to turn this off! I am on dial up and there may or may not be a network connection at the time I boot. What clock is this trying to sync to and how can I turn this feature off?
Thanks.




do this as root: update-rc.d
do this as root:
update-rc.d -f ntpdate remove
This will stop ntpdate from running at boot time.

You are welcome, that works
You are welcome, that works for any service that you don't need for example: "update-rc.d -f ssh remove" to get rid of ssh service or: "update-rc.d -f apache2 remove" to get rid of apache2.
