Or DL the binary, which I'm sure has been suggested in the following messages.

Is this a server machine you are buidling?  I ask because if you plan on
compiling XFree, Qt, KDE, GTK & Gnome on it and it took ~40 hours for
stage 1 & 2 it would probably take at least a week to compile all 5 of
those packages (Probably more actually).  If you are going to need a GUI
on it, I would recommend XFCE (http://www.xfce.org).  It's quickly
becoming the best lightweight desktop environment out there.

Cheers,

Trevor
