Ever install Rainbow 6? That install could take almost an hour from 1 cd. If they had zip'ed the files transferred and unzipped, it would have been much faster. With lots of small files, you have seek, read, seek, read, etc. With one big file, seek, read, read, read... I am not an expert on this, but it doesn't sound very abnormal. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
