Well, remember that syslogd has the option of logging its output on a remote
machine. This of course would not work with no network. Ie, one can
argue that syslogd needs the network to be up when it starts.
However, IF you do not use any remote logging, then just change the S
number of syslog Eg, if you come up in kdm/xdm/gdm/... (ie the X login
screen),
cd /etc/rc5.d
mv S12syslog S09syslog
to make it come up befor S10network
