Depending on your configuration, you may not notice the extra resource usage in the elapsed time. But it's probably more whether you spend the time while you're waiting for it. Once you get into the business of holding several different golden masters to copy from, things get more complicated. Back then we used a very bare minimum that was copied to the new root disk, and the required additional packages were added on top of it. That approach allows for a stock supply of copied root disks ready to use. -Rob ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
