P4 2.8CGHz with HT Northwood 800MHz FSB. 256MB single channel DDR400 will load Ubuntu dapper drake(?) in about 3 minutes _inside_ QEMU with the proprietary plugin loaded ( fast-qemu?? ) :) Dunno why it takes 7 minutes on real world machines. The QEMU machine has only 192MB RAM available at its disposal. -- Dinesh A. Joshi -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
