Ah, I indeed forgot the system information. It is a P II 333 MHZ with 256 of RAM and an UDMA 33 HD (40 GB).
Judging from your timings, this is going to take a while... Does buildworld and installworld always take equally long, even say only 10 files changed? Are there any pitfalls I should be aware of (seeing that this would be the first time I attempt such a thing).
