The current installation process is not very efficient, this is something else the installer project will also be addressing. The write cache and file access times are not the primary issue with installation time currently, but rather how the installer builds and processes a catalog file during installation from what I know plus certain parts of the packaging system. -- "Less is only more where more is no good." --Frank Lloyd Wright Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst binarycrusader at gmail.com - http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/
