Doug,
My guess is that if you have done a 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' that you would have
found that it was running at the lowest throttled speed that it could. I am
not sure about if the PIII supported some type of speed stepping but I am
almost sure that they did. More likely that or CDROM being on the same
channel
as the hard drive would be some of the likely I/O blocks that would drive the
install to be that long.

Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Be sure your friend has more than 256 MB RAM on the computer he wishes to
install FC5 on. RPM on FC5 seems to have gotten much more memory
intensive.
My home laptop is a PIII 800 with 256 MB RAM that was running FC4. I
burned the 5 CDs for the FC5 upgrade, started with booting off of the first
CD and 14 HOURS later it was done. I've done the FC4-->FC5 upgrade on
other machines with varying amounts of RAM and CPU speed and it "seems"
that life is much better with 512 MB RAM or more, regardless of cpu speed.
