Both took about 3 hours. I just started Change so we'll see what happens then. >From: "McKenzie, James J C-E LCMC HQISEC/L3" ><[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG >To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG >Subject: Re: ITSM 7 - Installation >Date: Thu, 20 Jul 2006 06:41:41 -0700 > >Mary: > >You need at least 4 threads for fast and list servers.
