Just an FYI, but I've just built and deployed essentially an FC6 + Updates + loads of Zope and Plone using the latest devel anaconda and friends. The performance was glacial across both an AMD x86 desktop (admittedly with only 256MB RAM - the rest was purloined by my x86_64 build server), and my Sony laptop with 740MB RAM. The installer is a DVD with circa 1.1 GB image and 900 packages, the upgrade involved circa 750 of these. The act of resolving dependencies for install took around 15 minutes, an hour to install the 750 packages, and the best part of 15 minutes to cleanup - total time circa 1.5 hours for a simple upgrade. rpm-4.4.2-32 yum-3.1.6-1.BAL6 I do hate to project the outcome of a 4GB DVD installer ... Thoughts anyone?? Alan
