Sorry was travelling Times are correct because the USB drive for netbsd 10 I used is usb3 while the netbsd 9 is on a old usb 2 device
Anyways I have been able to check this further When I choose system drive during upgrade the upgrade takes long i.e 25 to 45 minutes However if I choose the actual drive then its done in less than 5 minutes.. so I will use the actual drive going further Thanks Everyone -----Original Message----- From: Martin Husemann <mar...@duskware.de> Sent: Thursday, March 14, 2024 4:39 AM To: Derrick Lobo <derrick.l...@givex.com> Cc: pms-...@outlook.com; netbsd-users@netbsd.org Subject: Re: EXT MAIL : Re: USB install is slow On Thu, Mar 14, 2024 at 02:02:44AM +0000, Derrick Lobo wrote: > Here are the details.

Otherwise I would read them as 10.0_RC5 being about 3 times faster... Martin
