On my 1.8Ghz G5 it takes ~24hours and 7.5Gbytes of disk, but the update went fine. > Previous behaviour rebuilt _everything_ in order to create each language > file, meaning it took twice as long for those of us who needed an extra > language (and three times as long if you needed two...).

I fully agree with Jonathan, the previous behavior did not make sense for anybody needing more than one language (14 hours for the US one + 14 hours for the French one). What would be nice would be to split the building in one piece for all the "engines" and one for each of the localization, but I don't know how difficult to acheive that. With such a splitting people needing a few languages will have a reduced compile time without having to rebuild the "engine" part for each language. Any way thanks for the work done, the install of 2.0 was much better than all the previous one.
