Interesting. My x86 jumpstart installs of S10 (which is bigger than the AI install but smaller than a current SXCE install) tend to be 12-14 minutes in the package installation stage. That's not particularly good, but is acceptable given how much time is spent in the bios and (historically) manifest import and other first-boot tasks. Of course, once you have fast-reboot, and the manifest import problems are now fixed, 12-14 minutes starts to look like an awfully large fraction of the total deployment time, so I'm looking to cut that down a bit. -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
