It's been over 42 months since I last booted a Fedora installer (to a 5.3 kernel). Upgrading Fedora has worked in excess of 100 times here (15 multiboot PCs with it). On faster machines, allocating as much as an hour for the process is a gross excess. On less weighty installations it probably can take under 10 minutes if you don't include POSTing time that on some machines takes longer than booting an OS. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
