My experience is similar.
My Ultra 2 (2x300Mhz processors) "only" took
about an hour to complete.
My SS-5 (110Mhz processor) took about 2 hours
with OEM CD-reader.
My SS-20 (55 Mhz processor) took something like
4-6 hours with OEM CD-reader.
My SCSI reader reads CD-R's much much much better
than the OEM CD-reader which has a lot of difficulty reading CD-R's. You
may want to try burning to another "kind" of CD-R (I have really good luck
with the older blue/green style CD-R's).

Hi
Karl,
It
could take a long time, from my experience, it mainly depends on two
factors:
-
firstly, the speed of you cd-drive, if you're blessed with a "original"
drive (double or quad speed), you're in for a long ride.
My eyes popped out when i accidentally used
my cd-burner, that reads at 32-fold speed.
-
secondly, the speed of your cpu (you didn't mention what kind of sun, just
4M) The final part, in which the system tries to makes sense of loaded
software and present hardware, can take a lot of time. When installing an
Ultra you might have a coffee break, when doing an LX whith a 30MHz cpu, i
would suggest you plan and perform a five-star
banquet...
Greetings, Hans!
Is it just me, or does the installation seem to take
a VERY long time? I started the install at around 4pm. It's at
80% right now, and this is just the default sets (with the
GUI).
