[kepler-users] A question on Kepler startup

[Daniel Crawl]

Hi Dario,

Kepler checks for updates when it starts. You can turn this
off by editing 
module-manager-2.2/resources/configurations/configuration.xml and setting:

<check-for-patches>false</check-for-patches>

If you still have the delay after changing this, let me know.
