You're probably looking at an overnight event for the buildworld. Make sure you buildkernel as well. Alternatively, you *could* buildworld/kernel on a second box, NFS mount the /usr/src and /usr/obj directories and installworld/kernel from there. We have ~30 similar FreeBSD systems and one build box. Kinda helps us stay consistent, etc. HTH Eric Crist ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Running Exim SA and ClamAv so I need to know how long it would take if I have to take it off line- My box is a PIII 500mhz with 512 ram I have many such machines. I noted the following numbers when recently building world and kernel on one of my VIA C3 machines at home. The numbers are more or less in line with what you can expect from a single processor, single drive (ATA) PIII system with zero load: # time make buildworld real159m21.710s user133m1.959s sys 21m58.076s # time make buildkernel real3111.62s user2637.72s sys 264.71s That works out to about 3-1/2 hours total. In your case, it looks like an overnight job unless you take if offline. Me, I prefer to build on (and install from) a separate, dedicated box. Less groaning if something goes wrong among other things. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
