Hi Arthur
How much ram does this machine have? Was there a swap image in the installation? either created or already existing?
How many packages were installed? I have found that doing big installations (lots of packages) with little memory or no swap or both takes very long.

Hi Everyone,
I installed RHEL 5.1 in a power 5 p570 machine using a network install
(ncurses view) and I have an issue. After anaconda formats the
partition, it shows a screen with a dialog "starting installation" and
it says it will take some time. It took 1 hour and a half to start
running the progress bar and copying files. So I wanted to ask two
questions:
1) Is it supposed to take that long? I was doing a network install on a
server with an effective (steady) connection of about 3 Mbps. If it is,
what is it doing in this time (before it actually shows the progress bar
and the files being installed/copied)?
2) Wouldn't it be interesting to show some kind of activity response
(progress bar or files being copied) so the user won't just think the
installation froze? I resetted the machine about 4 times before someone
told me it's supposed to take that long.
The first question might be complicated to solve, but the second one
seems simple enough and I'm interested in "fixing" it.
So if someone wants to comment, suggest or help me on where to start, I
would be really grateful =)
Arthur V.
