What kind of kernel did you compile, and on what kind of machine? I compiled a 2.0.36 kernel twice on 486 machines: One on a machine with Intel 486DX2 @ 75 MHz with 8MB RAM: This took about 55 Minutes. The second on a machine with Cyrix 486SX @ 66MHz with 24 MB RAM. This took about 25 Minutes, though the kernel was a bit larger, with more networking drivers included. Greetings, Daniel
