It doesn't make a difference what hardware. I have 4 boxes that run gentoo (Athlon 2200, Athlon 3200, Apple G4, Sparc U60) and they all run the actual sync quite fast, but the 50%-51% takes from 5 minutes on the 3200 to 30 minutes on the G4 and U60. As I mentioned though, I don't let this bother me as I generally sync ~4:00am whilst sleeping. > What I am curious about is... what's it really doing when it says 51-52%.. > That 1% seems to take forever.. > > C. > -- [email protected] mailing list -d -- darren kirby :: Part of the problem since 1976 :: http://badcomputer.org "...the number of UNIX installations has grown to 10, with more expected..." - Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson, June 1972
