Emacs takes unbelievably long to start without a fully qualified domain name (FQDN).

I would like to know what elisp commands in the .emacs file could speed it up without a FQDN e.g. using a fake system-name.

You can't solve this issue in ~/emacs since the wait takes place before this file is even loaded.

  • Oh no. Then it really needs a change of the emacs code! – Frank Breitling Mar 17 '16 at 13:58
  • I've never run into this issue. I do remember some years back there were issues if your system networking wasn't correctly setup. Can someone clarify - for example, if I have a hostname of localhost.localnet, does this not suffice? If it does, can you not just do that to avoid the startup issue? – Tim X Mar 19 '16 at 01:40
