I'll approx 11 hrs into a PIII-450, 256MB Ram install ... I started it before leaving for work this AM and it's chugging away. Perhaps it'll be done by the time the Father-Daughter dinner and soccer practice are done (in 4 hrs). Perhaps it'll be done by the time I head for work tomorrow. Perhaps it'll be 24 hrs like the initial posting. Only time will tell :-> -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
