I booted up the computer, & ran the /etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd script. I'd
say it takes about 15 minutes for sshd to start up the first time. (When
I booted the computer up the first time, I let it run about 5 minutes.
Unfortunately, in a bootup sequence, there is no easy way to tell if
a process has hugn during booting or is just slow.)

Perhpas have a note in the slinky selection at the point where sshd is
offered as option. (Something along the lines of ``Warning: sshd may
take an extremely long time to initialize the first time you boot the
system.")
