So after getting my timer out here are the results: (livecd's) fedora 11 x86_64 = 4:43 ubuntu karmic x86_64 = 3:49 (systems on hard drive) my home brwed LFS = 1:03 osx = 00:36 It's not the 2:00 min mark, but it also is not the 10:00 min that I regret saying. I guess it's not so bad. Justin P. Mattock -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
