hmm 590.9 mb for mandrake 6.1 on cd. ( just put old cd in drive and
checked the size )
2100 mb or thereabouts for mandrake 9 download edition, substantially
more than three times in size, plus the higher compression ratios used
in current versions
seems logical to assume that with larger dirtibution size and better
compression used in the packages that the time taken will be
substantially larger, no a mathematical progression but more a
logarythmic progression. the install is doing more work with a larger
amount of data.
