Be grateful you're not running my PIII 600MHz. If you also are running X with a browser, xmms, or mplayer and updatedb decides to join in, then 20 min to 1/2 hour is a possibility! I'll make a mental note to measure how long it takes next time I sync. -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
