To install a single package it takes 10s real time. I have a SATA 250GB disk. I have ~1500 packages installed. On a 2.8 Ghz P4 with 512MB RAM (~1800 packages) it does take 20-30 seconds. I also note that dselect eats up 40+ MB on this second machine and really slows down the machine during an install. -- Ganesan Rajagopal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
